Forever Valentine: A Sequel to Professor Valentine is book six in the Kirk University series by Diana Vale. Forever continues for Cassie and Diego. Their forbidden tryst blossomed into love and we get to find out what has been going on in their lives. As far as short stories go, this one isn’t to bad. It kept me turning the paged and nicely enthralled from the start. Their story was a good one and flowed energetic and easily. The play on words was clever. The characters relatable and likable. A lovely short and sweet delight. 4 stars.

Amy McKinley’s No Way Out is one of the most character intense stories I have ever read. The story of the Chicago’s Italian-American Mafia families showed how they had their own political agendas. Lilianna Brambilla’s role as a Mafia “princess” made her an asset to her father. Benito Brambilla’s power was crumbling from the destruction of several warehouses he used to store drugs. The Council of the Mafia frowned upon drug dealings, but Benito did not care.
Max Caruso’s, along with his cousins, directions are to protect Lilianna and to reintroduce her to her Grandfather VIncenzo. After her mother had died, Benito refused to allow any contact with VIncenzo. Max infiltrates Benito’s home as Matteo “Matt” Trambino, with a reputation for being a hitman for the original families that never failed to get a job done. Benito assigns Matt to guard Lilianna. After a dinner with the Mexican cartel and Matt protecting Lilianna from the unwanted attention of an ambitious youngster, she begins to trust him. She also feels something different about Matt, but dismisses her underlying feelings, knowing her father would never allow her to date an employee. Little does she know, but Matt has grown a much larger attachment to her and intends to get her out of the prison life she lives. When Antonio Caruso strikes a deal with Benito, Lilianna goes into panic mode. She was to marry the oldest son of the Caruso family, Tony. Suspected of killing his previous fiancé, Tony is despised by Lilianna. She fakes her escape and finds herself losing her thoughts of control when Matt foils her plans.
This is a stellar 5-star thrilling romance. The alternating narrative between Max and Lilianna is seamless. I loved how McKinley was able to bring the characters alive with rational thoughts and how easy it was to connect with them. The outward appearance of Lilianna was a farce of someone that feared nobody, but underneath she ran on fear. The amount of weaponry she carried with her everywhere was overkill, which in her shoes, I probably would have done the same. Living in a house where your mother died, and being treated as property by your father, would break just about anyone. The ending of this book fits and doesn’t feel rushed like other romance novels tend to be.

What a way to find a house you want to sell of course it has to be me. The people of this town loved my gran as hee granddaughter Lucy seem to be a patriarch of this town. I actually enjoyed reading this more than I though. Jane is extremely relatable and I really like her character. Tripp I like him. I want to read the next book now. This is amazing book 5/5
My Soul to Give (A Demon’s Love Book 1) Genre: Paranormal/Romance Pages:476
This book is a bit steamy, however it’s very much on the dark side. I am on the fence with this one I don’t know if I love it or hate it I feel like there is no in-between. I understood the plot but I expected more romance but romance Kim of fell flat. There is really great character development as you would expect in the first book of a series. Something seems to be missing I don’t know what yet, maybe because it is book 1 questions get answered in book two or things will just make more sense. Would you sell your soul to the devil for the love of your life ?! The “bad guy” of the story really was the best part all the best villains have the name Kai or some variant lol. I am looking forward to book two. I hope there is more steam then darkness in the next read. I will give it four stars because it is book one and it keeps you reading it has a good plot I just don’t think this is my type of book something I am willing to get use to.

After winning the heart of the God of the Underworld and successfully pissing off his mother, Vanessa is given a mission with 24 hours to complete. Luckily she has help from Raef and Aroz. But when things go awry and Aroz whisks her off to his hidden palace, that’s when Vanessa really finds herself in trouble. This was as always, a very entertaining read. Hazel Storm writes as though she knows she is going to pull you in and not let you go. Give yourself time to read this one in one go because you are not going to want to put it down.

Journeys Through TimeSpace (Journeys Through Book 2) By: James Talisman Genre: Sci-Fi Fantasy Pages: 268
The book I never knew I needed! We have passion, we have chemistry and best of all we have time travel! This is book two of Talisman’s Journey Through I recommend reading book one first. The characters are so defined and it’s like word art the characters jump off the page into your mind you feel like part of the adventure. There are a lot of characters I started to lose track but it was okay because the story is so good. I don’t know why I connected with this book more then book one but this deserved all the stars because I will be giving this to my children as summer reading. What is going to happen next and will we get all the answers?

This story was very unexpected! I started in one mindset and ended in a completely different one! There was sooo much involved in this storyline itself. The characters were very well developed and the story itself was original and intriguing. This paranormal romance took me some place I did not see coming at all. The amount of suspense, mystery, drama, romance, as well unexpected twists just made the story even more exciting. When Celine’s husband is murdered she is devastated and angry. She wants revenge and is willing to sell her soul for it. When she meets a demon named Kai the night of her husbands murder he gives her just that option, and she takes it. As the pair start to explore Celine’s former life they discover a lot of hidden secrets that inspire more questions than answers. Kai knows more than he lets on, and as he Celine go thru this vengeful journey we discover that sometimes things are not at all how the seem.

This book absolutely blew me away! Amy McKinley is such a talented author. Liliana and Max are both extremely multi-dimensional characters and I really enjoyed getting to read the story from the view point of each of them. Liliana comes across initially as a cool and indifferent, but a total kick-butt woman that takes crap from no one. However, as the story develops, you get to see a completely different side of her-a side that is scared and lonely and craving a sense of belonging. Then there’s Max. He turns out to be so much more than just a hunky, muscular man that won’t let anyone stand in the way of his end goal. Max and Liliana bring out the best in each other and I was rooting for them the whole way! This book truly has a little bit of something for everyone-romance, suspense, action and heat. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the next book in this series.

This book is so good amd the whole time you are reading you think you have everything figured out amd let’s just say nothing is as it seems. Never would I have thought the ending would be as it was. This is a really good book amd I love how the Author does not leaving you hanging until the next book to find out important events! There are some really good steamy scenes in this book very interesting and ummmmmm imaginative! All in all I really liked this book and am excited to read the next one in this series!

The third in the Her Three Immortals series. I have enjoyed the books in this series, and this was no different. This book begins where the last one ended, Vanessa is standing in front of the Queen of the Underworld. The Queen of the Underworld has a task for Vanessa to complete, and she has exactly 24 hours to do so. This wouldn’t have been so hard if she hadn’t been thwarted. I love the characters in this series. The writing is excellent and has me turning pages as fast as I can read. I love that this is a hot and steamy reverse harem story. Aroz, Raef, Grey, does Vanessa have to choose? Why can’t she keep them all? Romance, lust, kidnapping, quest, this book has it all! Thank you so much Hazel Storm, I am on the edge of my seat waiting for Book 4.

This is the fifth book in A Backyard Farming Series, but the first one I have read. I did not feel as if I was missing anything by jumping feet first into this book. Anne helps town residents create beautiful gardens, but things take a turn when she finds Billie underneath a bookshelf deceased. Anne’s gut tells her this was not an accident as first thought. I am not normally very oblivious to clues in a mystery, apparently my brain doesn’t quite work that way. I was very excited that I was able to follow some of the clues in this book. Who in the garden club has the most to gain? Or lose? This was a well written story, I really enjoyed it.

Potager Plot is book #5 in the Backyard Farming Series by Vikki Walton. For me it was the first book I have read by this Author and I really enjoyed it. Not having read the previous 4 books did not diminish my enjoyment of this book but I definitely will be going right back to the beginning to better follow this wonderful series. I also loved that while this is a mystery it is not dark, it is quite light hearted.
Anne is a very charismatic, likable character with a knack for mysteries. When she finds the Garden Clubs President dead in her home the circumstances just don’t sit well with her. Suspicions grow within her as she looks into the comings and goings of various people in the life of Billie. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you captivated as you follow Anne as she tries to solve this mystery. Come on grab yourself a copy of Potager Plot and join Anne and the wonderful people of Carolan Springs…you won’t regret it!!

Something Lost (Funerals and Weddings Series Book 1) by Bernadette Marie
This is the second book by Ms. Marie I have had the pleasure of reading and I have no doubts that I will be reading more especially this series.
I read a lot of books and there are some that I read pretty quick while others not quite as fast. This was one of the books I read pretty quick because I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen between Craig and Rachel and how it all went down.
I’m lucky to have a few friends from my high school years that I’m still close with and each time we get together it’s like no time has passed which is what I saw with Craig and his friends.
I throughly enjoyed this Book and can’t wait to read the next in this series.

Scarlet Princess is the first book in the Lochlann Feuds series. Rowan, princess of Lochlann, is completely headstrong, but this time she has landed herself in the hands of the enemy. Will she die because of her missteps or will she find something else all together? I flew through this book. I was captured by this story. The only thing bad I found was I now have to wait for the 2nd book.

Journeys Through SpaceTime (Journeys Through Book 1) By: James Talisman Genre: Sci-Fi Fantasy Pages: 274
Winner winner chicken dinner! Now this is a book I would recommend to any and all. I am a huge fan of time travel and adventure. Have you ever see the show Timeless? Now think of that in the fantasy world of space. Now this adapts the love of ancient Egypt and different times of the human world into the sci-fi world and it sucks you in with amazing character; that honestly, should each have their own spin-off okay. With these characters they are so well explained and the details are so precise that you want to be their friend or their worst enemy. While reading this I didn’t want the story to end but it is beautiful all the way around till the very last page. Five stars I wouldn’t give it anything else!

This book starts out like most romance novels with the boy meeting the girl but that is about all this has in common with traditional romance books. We are automatically thrust into the action and mystery as we follow Danielle in her quest to obtain the relic her mentor has imparted knowledge about. When a mysterious stranger steps in to claim the relic and sends Danielle down the rabbit hole. This leads her to being kidnapped as she is tied up in something she doesn’t fully understand. On one hand Danielle has a secret that she needs to keep but as she gets closer to vulture and his unique tastes little by little her guard slips away. As more of the story is revealed we discover things are not as they seem and the lies piling up around Danielle, vulture, and the contract are not what they seem. Can Vulture keep Danielle safe as he learns she truly is his fated mate? What does the secret Danielle is told to keep have to do with Vulture and the contract? Will their relationship lead to salvation or ruin? This is an edge of your seat read that hooks you right from the beginning and continues pulling you in all the way to the last page.

My Soul to Give (A Demon’s Love #1) by M. A. Fréchette
This is the first book I’ve read by Fréchette. My Soul to Give is the first book in the A Demon’s Love Series and will need to be read in order. This is a great page turner.
Kai is a demon and has been following Celina since she was a child. When he finds her after her husband does things change. He finds that he loves her and doesn’t want to lose her. The quote I chose for Kia is: “We have plenty of time for that. You need only be patient, which I know can be difficult for humans. Now then, let us plot your revenge, shall we?”
Celina has lost her parents and now her husband. When she is hunted down by the people who killed her husband she comes to the black tree. Her black tree. She finds that Demons are real. The quote I chose for Celina is: “So, my aunt paid someone to kidnap Lumen male children to gain immortality?”

First, I absolutely LOVE the cover of the book….can you say stunning! Second, I cannot get enough of this series….it is truly a book lovers delight for sure and I am one very happy girl to know there is a 4th book coming!!! “The Bow” is book 3 in this series and I do recommend reading this series in order. I am addicted to the characters. There is love, suspense, with some magic and I love each character. Vanessa has been assigned a task to complete by the Underworld Queen and she must succeed. Just when she believes everything is going according to plan, here comes Aroz. I love how the story unfolds and you really get to know the characters.

THE BOW (HER THREE IMMORTALS Book 3) by HAZEL STORM was an amazing read, however I am thrilled to know that this is not the end of this series by Ms. Storm. If you have not read the previous two installments to Ms. Storm’s series then I highly recommend that you do as book three picks up exactly where book two ended. I personally love this series, and Ms. Storm has definitely earned her way onto my favorite authors list. Her plot for this series is amazing, her characters are wonderful, and this paranormal romance just has everything that a reader could hope for. As with the previous two installments The Bow has action, suspense, magic, mythology, fate, romance and so much more I can’t even list them all. So if you need a great new series then check out the HER THREE IMMORTALS Book by HAZEL STORM, or if your like me and have already read the first two then definitely pick up The Bow right now.

This story is a historic young adult story. It is about Emma who just graduated from business school. Emma has started investigating some of her team members. There is one, in particular, that is a little shady. Her life is not exactly what it seems in her world. That is where the mystery begins. In life, there are twists and turns and this book proves this idea. It was refreshing reading about historical Chicago. The details are accurate and that is what makes the story believable. The characters are realistic and easy to relate to. I highly recommend this story especially if you like historical books.

Abby is a studious student who has dreams of becoming a pediatrician and has been on a road to success during her entire college career. What happens when Drew, the school’s star D1 basketball athlete, chooses her to be his lab partner? Drew is a book about two very determined college students who are trying to become doctors and fall in love during the process. I do wish the tense scenes had a little more drama to them. Overall I liked this book.

This was a story about finding yourself again, but I felt like it could’ve been more in depth. It was a quick read with what could’ve been a great story to tell. Ray moves back to his hometown to start over and his best friends sister, Alyssa, comes back into his life.
Alyssa’s life has been tragic, with the death of her brother and being in an abusive relationship, but her brothers best friend, Ray, the boy who has always had her heart, makes her see that she can start over.
Ray is a hometown hero. He left to become a boxer. An injury threatens to end his career so he “retires” and heads back home to buy the local eatery they all grew up at. And finds Alyssa in the process. Will they both get a fresh start or will they stay in the past?

This was one of those stories that kept me reading because I couldn’t even guess what was going to happen. Trying to figure out what secrets Thomas had been keeping from Celina, trying to figure out Kai. Kai… man, he definitely was a little hellish. Obviously, right? But the deviant grew on me. There were definitely some dark and twisted parts, but it added to the thrill of it. If you like a little dark, a little mysterious, a little demon-ish give this book a go!

Koerber has a unique and original writing style that draws you in; she has a way of smoothly melding her characters points of view and creates a fascinating visual and plot.
I feel like there should have been longer chapters on some parts as I found myself rereading most of the book to make sure I didn’t miss anything. There should have more to the characters brief introductions in the first chapters.
Even though I feel that the book left me with unanswered questions, I did enjoy reading it. I have actually reread it a few times. There is a lot of potential for more amazing reads by Koerber, I will be watching for more titles!

Swindler’s Revenge by Ellen Butler is the fifth book in the Karina Cardinal series. First, I recommend reading the series to know Karina’s past escapades and the other characters that recur in the series. Karina seems to have things under control until the FBI shows up at her door looking for her ex, Mike Finnegan. Could Mike not be the upright FBI agent Karina thought he was? This story is a great addition to the series. I like that Karina finds herself in crazy situations but still finds her way through with the help of some talented individuals. I also like that this isn’t so intense and serious that it overwhelms the reader. The story has intensity but a nice amount of humor and a smidge of romance. I look forward to reading more in this series and from this author in the future.

This book was a little slow to begin with, but there is a lot packed in. Jayne comes back to sell her grandma’s house and finds the house wrecked! And… a dead body! So the secret is out! What happened to this body?? The mystery, the stories and paranormal hook you in for the long haul! The next book will be even better!
Notebook Mysteries- Decisions and Possibilities was ah-mazing! I was instantly draw in from the cover art alone, I didn’t really even read the synopsis. This book is the second in the series, and I did not read the first one, but I really want to. It can be enjoyed as a stand alone, and I hope there is another book after this, because I must know what happens next for Emma and Jeremy! Emma is such a great character, ahead of her time. She is a young woman in 1880s Chicago, in a time when women have low expectations. She is brilliant and has the drive to go to college, and work alongside men. Her family is fascinating and I would like to know more about them. The book is action packed, moving from one case to the next. They weren’t really related, except to show us how awesome Emma is, and display her networking. But it wasn’t unorganized or chaotic, the story worked. It ended too abruptly for me, but I really enjoyed it. Unlike any other book I have read.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Decisions and Possibilities by Kimberly Mullins is the second book following Emma Evans and her adventures around Chicago in the 1880s. Emma, now 18, is a graduate of business school and sets out as an adult gathering a team to help her with investigations. This quick, historical mystery can be read as a standalone, but, as second books generally are, would probably be even better having begun with the first. This author has a unique way of storytelling that brings history to life and puts you right in the middle of 1883 Chicago. With a background in business herself, it is no wonder she can make business-graduate Emma come to life so well. This book is 242 pages, but it will seem like less in the end because it will grab your attention from the beginning and never let it go. I recommend reading this book, and I’ll be reading the first to go with it.
