Growing up, my mother loved Somewhere in Time and we watched it many times. This book gave me all the same feelings and emotions even though it is very different.

What a beautiful book! Will is in the hospital with terminal cancer and no visitors. Tori befriends him as she has done before with patients like him. Neither of them were prepared for what happened next. The journey they go on is so sadly beautiful and poignant. Everyone deserves to have someone there, especially when you are dying.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow, I really loved this book. I do not get many opportunities to read rock and roll friends to lovers so this was great change for me to read.

Growing up, Melody is the daughter of a famous drummer and Joe takes lessons from Melody’s father. Joe Grace and his band “GraceFall” get the opportunity of a lifetime, to go on tour and be the main headliner for their concert tour. Melody .. after being disappointed on not making the LA Orchestra, decides to go on tour with the band. Sparks fly between Joe and Melody while on the tour, but there are secrets too. This book is a roller coaster of emotions that make you want more. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

If you enjoy supernatural YA books, this one will be a perfect fit for you!

When Lucy Walker’s mother dies suddenly due to a drug overdose, she is moved from Tennessee to Chicago to live with her Uncles in her Grandmother’s old home. Not only is she thrust into a new life in a new city, she must now navigate the fact that she is a half demon, half witch. Her life in Tennessee in the trailer park did not prepare Lucy for life in the fast lane in Chicago.

This book had some unexpected twists to it and kept me on the edge of my seat. I really enjoyed it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forever:A Diamond Doms novel, is the last book of this series. I enjoy a good BDSM book and this book does not disappoint. This is my first read of the series and although I hadn’t been introduced to the characters before, it was easy to follow along. On top of the kink in this book, the underlying storyline between the characters, keeps you on our toes and is a great way to finish out the series. I can’t wait to go back and start at the beginning of the books and get introduced to all the characters in each of their own stories.

Forever: A Diamond Doms Novel by Ivy Nelson

This is not the first book by Nelson that I’ve read. It’s also not the first Diamond Doms novel I’ve read. The Diamond Doms Series can be read as standalones or in order.

Russell had one job to do and that was to keep Holly and her friend Gemma safe. Then her husband comes up dead and they aren’t sure why. Russell starts to have feelings for Gemma. The quote I chose for Russell is: “I’m sorry, Gemma. I won’t call you that again. If you’ll excuse me, I’ve left someone waiting.”

Gemma is wanting out of the marriage. Then he shows up dead and Russell is the one who told her. She has feelings for Russell, but isn’t exactly sure what his feelings are for her. The quote I chose for Gemma is: “No. Idiot. I’m saying our marriage is not the traditional love story. We aren’t in love, we don’t have sex, and we will never have children. In fact, before our lives blew up, we were on the path to lining things up for a divorce. Enough time had passed that it wouldn’t harm either family.”

Highly recommended for Dark Romance lovers.

By: Tricia Copeland
Pages: 334
Genre:Fantasy & Young Adult

If you are a fan of The Vampire Academy Series then this is the book for you.
This is my favorite genre, you can never go wrong with an amazing young adult series.
Finally we have true originality a story of a half vampire half witch.
I love a good hybrid, very L.J Smith with a high school trope.
Five stars and this is a keeper.
You have a kid that doesn’t fit in, and what is she going to do about her powers.
Now this is just book one of this series and Copeland does not disappoint.
Give me more! Copeland is giving Cassandra Clare a run for her money with this.
As a collector I am not letting this series slip away.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book took me roughly a week to read and I’d rate it 5/5 stars. It was well written and engaging. The main character Nick and his grandfather were well written and relatable. This story has everything from secret rooms and magical coins to weapons and bad guys. Although it wasn’t as action packed as I was hoping and the beginning didn’t really come to fruition just yet, I look forward to reading the next book in the series. This book follows a young teacher as he learns his family history and takes upon a new role as the guardian of the coin. The dialogue and people were extremely likable and their conversation and the plot itself did not seem forced at all. Overall great quick, easy read. I’d certainly recommend it.

The Last Danann (Titanian Chronicles Book 3) by Victoria Saccenti

This is another wonderful novel by Saccenti. The Last Danann is a great read and I can’t wait for the next one. Titanian Chronicles is a great series.

Kailen is a great friend of Soren and we got to meet him in the last book. He is the last Danann and isn’t sure if he’s ever going to find his mate. The quote I chose for Kailen is: “No thanks are necessary, Lord.”

Talaith doesn’t want to feel emotions for Kailen but she does. When her Master shows up and tells her that he may or may not send her on a new mission. The quote I chose for Talaith is: “I left when he started grilling her. Maya is no one’s fool, and with Soren’s mind-to-mind guidance, she won’t be tricked into revealing the Simurgh lightning.”

Highly recommended for Mythology lovers.

The Last Danann: Titanian Chronicles 2The Last Danann: Titanian Chronicles 2 by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

WOW! This story gripped me from the beginning. The Last Dunann is a story that is part of the Titanian chronicles which focuses on two lovers; Kailen and Talaith.. This book has well written out world building, and the author does well in explaining the many different supernatural’s that are in this book. I thought the book flowed very well and could tell that the author had a specific story she wanted to get across to her audience through Kailen and Talaith. Speaking of the characters, I enjoyed the love story between the two. Kailen who is the Last Dunann experienced great loss which affected him as the years went by. He felt as love could never be reached by him, and he came to accept this ideology. However, Talaith, a powerful sorceress with very rare magic, sees Kailen and immediately understands that he is hers, and that she will change his mind about love and that he is capable of it. I thoroughly enjoyed the concept of this book and can’t wait to continuing reading Ms. Saccenti’s work!

Forever: A Diamond Doms Novel by Ivy Nelson

I was intrigued by this book and have learned some of my limits on what sort of things interest me in that world.   There were some things I never would have ever considered,  but we all like things that other people don’t quite understand.

I have not read the other books in this series which I think was a disadvantage because there were several established characters and their storylines that I didn’t have the background on, well at least not yet.  I would suggest reading these in order since this tied up loose ends.

Russell was a great guy is seemed but too intense for me.  He certainly knew how to care for a woman,  lucky Gemma.  He would give her exactly what she needed and cared for her more than I think a normal partner work.

I envy Gemma in some ways.  She knew what she needed, had no problems (mostly) vocalizing her needs and enjoyed every moment.

I would like to go back and read the others in this series so I can find out how everyone ended up where they were.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So yeah, I really loved this, like really really loved this. It been a while since I got properly stuck into a meaty fantasy and this just ticked all the boxes, which I’ve got to say made me super happy. Reading this little ray of awesome kind of made we want to hunt down more of Saccenti’s work because honestly, I do have to love her writing style. She’s got a way where you drop into the story and bam, its just there in front of your eyes, all vivid and sparkly and unleavable, because seriously I couldn’t put this bad boy down.
This being the 3rd book in a series I hadn’t, up until this point, read meant that there were some things that sort of nearly flew over my head, but if anything, it just made me want to read the other installments to get more of the awesomeness.
So, the up and the down is that Kailen, last dude remaining from his people on his current plain, after helping send the rest of them on their merry way to Tir na nÓg. The price for this however was for him to stay and pledge his fierce sword to the Seelie Court and after a bit, the Titanians. There’s lots of stuff in Kailen’s past, lots of pain, and heartbreak and of course really powerful badass druid sorceress’ that just so happen to run into him again. I’m talking about Talaith, and I love her!!
I would absolutely recommend this series to anyone that loves fantasy, loves romance, sod it anyone that loves reading and wants to stick something beautiful in front of their faces. You will love it, honestly.

Not the first book I’ve read by Saccenti. This is the first book of the series I’ve read. Saccenti is an amazing author and I can never wait for the next one.

Maya is human and is in for a shock. She is kidnapped along with her godmother. What she doesn’t know is that her life may be changing for the better. The quote I chose for Maya is: “Are you hurt? Are you hurt? The sounds were horrible. What was that disgusting green liquid? Zeus is back to normal too. I’m so happy, so relieved.”

Soren didn’t think he would ever find his mate. Then he gets the shock of his life when she shows up at the bar he’s at. She was told to look for him, meaning something is wrong. The quote I chose for Soren is: “That’s my mate, and she needs me. I’m going to help her. Now.”

Highly recommended for Mythology lovers.

The story is great and I really enjoyed it! That being said I do wish the POV were more distinctive so I knew who was speaking at all times. It got confusing at times as to whose brain I was in, but the story is still a great one! I do recommend you read this just be prepared for sudden jumps in perspective! It did not ruin the story as a whole at all and I did really enjoy reading this once I got acclimate to the different POV!

Where do I begin? This book is sooo good. I knew from the synopsis somewhere in this book I would cry and I did indeed cry with Tori in so many parts of this book.

This is an author I never hesitate to pick up. Her books have been among my favorites from her first book I read. I love how the characters are always creative, steamy and bring the story to life. You get pulled into the story from the first word. This book is no different. This is a well written story that is fun, entertaining, and steamy. The characters are not only relatable but made the story engaging. This is a fast paced story that I had a hard time putting down. This is a story about family and what your destiny is. Growing through the ranks and becoming prez was something this main character has wanted but now he wants something more. What will his destiny be? Will he be alone or will he get the family he wants? This is such a great story. It is one of my favorites yet in this series. I highly recommend reading the previous books in this series to help your enhancement and enjoyment of this author’s writing. I highly recommend this book and this author.

The characters are connectable and they made me laugh throughout the story. They made the story for me and kept me turning pages. They not only brought life to the story but they made the story engaging. This is a story where romance puts everything on the line. What will fate have in store for Joe and Melody? What will happen with the steamy drummer and this down on her luck female. I really enjoyed their growth and chemistry throughout the story. They truly made the story for me.

This is a well written story that took me on an adventure of magic and creative characters that made the story fun and entertaining to read. The characters are not only relatable but brought the story to life on each page. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and hard to put down. Alda is a world that is broken and as a result of that the magical tree and Elf-kind are dying. Creatures and humans are hiding out in their homes. What happens next you will need to read this book to find out. There is a lot happening but the author did a great job of keeping details straight and not confusing. It is worth the pick up and I am glad that I did. I really enjoyed the adventure it took me on and highly recommend this book.

I really enjoyed this first book in The Obsecured Throne Trilogy. The author has a fantastic way of writing that makes the story believable even though the characters are mystical. This is a really dark fantasy adventure that keeps you gripped from the beginning and doesn’t let go. At first I found it a bit confusing as it is a story with different characters and than spans time, however it wasn’t so complicated that it was hard to read.

This is a story that will drag you in. It is the first story in a while that I have truelly lost myself in. I lost all concept of time while reading this  book as I couldn’t put it down without knowing what was going to happen next. I really can’t wait to read the next book in this Trilogy.

This incredible story captured a huge piece of my heart and I don’t think I’ll ever get it back. From the very beginning I knew I was in for an emotional read and I loved my time with the characters. Not all stories are sunshine and rainbows, sometimes an author comes in and shows an all to realistic side of life. This author did it beautifully and while I’m one who like the sunshine and rainbows sometimes you need the rain storms in a book also. I couldn’t put this book down and I can’t wait to read book two. Have some tissues near by and trust me this book is worth every tissue you may use. Four big stars and highly recommended.
