My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vanessa is on her final task, to go to Tartarus and fill a box full of beauty. Her men are distracted by their godly obligations and mothers. Raef, feeling miserable about not being an immortal, tags along with Vanessa to try and help her.
Opinion
This is the fourth book in the series. They are not stand alone and need to be read in order. When you do read them, you will find a thrilling story featuring ancient gods in current times.
This story, in particular, follows the greatness of the ones before it. There are so many sub plots going on that there is always something interesting happening. Great book.

THE BOX (HER THREE IMMORTALS BOOK 4) by HAZEL STORM – Review by Jamie Zabolotney

The Box: A Greek Gods Urban Fantasy Romance (Her Three Immortals Book 4)The Box: A Greek Gods Urban Fantasy Romance by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the final book in the series and all the loose ends all get tied up nicely for the reader. Vanessa is forced to do yet another task for a goddess, this time Aroz’s mother. It just seems that Vanessa can’t catch a break from her lovers’ narcissistic mothers who each are self serving to a fault. This time the goddess of beauty wants her to go in search of the box of beauty.

This book takes Vanessa and all three of her immortal lovers on quests that helps each of them learn more about themselves and each other. Despite the turmoil, Vanessa is able to bond closer to all of her immortals and come into her own. And, as always this author has a great knack of keeping the reader entertained with new twists and plots at every turn.

I would love to see another series spin off from this one. I feel like there is so much more that this author could give us and more immortals we could meet.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I don’t know if I can write out the words on how amazing this book was. I oved the first book sin the series and this one was just as amazing. It kept me on the edge of my seat once again and I was not able to put it down at all. I didn’t realize that you could fall more in love with a character in a book, but I think I did. I really love how Vanessa stands up for herself and is an amazing person all in all, her caring domainer and they way she cares for everyone that she loves. The situations the gods keep trying to get her into thinking she wasn’t good enough or could do and change her, and then when she stands up for herself and shows them the type of person she really is, just makes me love her more. I really hope there will be more from these amazing books. Enjoyed it so much.

LUKE (DEFAULT DISTRACTION #4) by A. S. Roberts – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Luke (Default Distraction #4)Luke by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great book with a very compelling story line. The final story in the series really captured my heart and my attention. This is a page turner and I was unable to put it down until I read every last word. While it belongs to a series (a pretty great series too) it can be read as a stand alone.
Luke and Nikki are from different families with a lot of the same flaws. Their backgrounds make them cautious to let their hearts fall for each other. Luke has a four year old daughter, Brie and he needs a nanny for her. Nikki has had a major teenage crush on Luke forever as he is in her favorite band. She interviews for the nanny position and gets it. Their attraction is instant but can they let the past hurts go and allow love to heal them? Definitely worth the read!! Just grab some tissues as you will need them, this book is full of emotions.

LUKE (DEFAULT DISTRACTION #4) by A. S. Roberts – Review by Angela Shirley

Luke (Default Distraction #4)Luke by A.S. Roberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Luke was a foundling, left on the church steps so from an early age he wanted more, so when he met the three other brothers his life changed. That’s when he met who he thought was the love of his life but with drugs and alcohol they could not be enough for each other and then when he became a father and then lost his wife , could he live again or just survive.

Nikki has lived her life trying to help her family as the oldest daughter to a single parent she has always had responsibilities, but when her job as a nanny for a mega music producer hits the rocks she feels she is letting her family down, but when I chance meeting and a advert in the local village message board has her head in a spin not only is he handsome and his daughter a cutie but he is her teenage dream. Can she be professional enough to just be a nanny or will she give love a chance and jump straight in.

I can’t believe this is the last book in the series as I feel I am so invested into this family group that I want to know what’s happens after, does Brie grow up to be a dancer, Does Flint do what his heart wants to do. Do they all live in UK and live happily please tell me.

I loved the characters of Nikki she was full of Sass and as we say spit and vinegar, I loved that she was not intimidated by the Rockstar in Luke, I loved that you got to see the other side to him the vulnerable child still in him and him evaluating his life before Nikki.

The story flowed brilliantly and the characters were well developed and written, I loved this whole series with the same timeline but to peak into each of their lives and see how the whole dramas play out was brilliantly. I would recommend this series as a great emotional read and that you are pulled so far into these characters lives you feel like you are living each moment with them.

Thank you for such a great series and can’t wait to read more books by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this novel. I like reading love stories especially when it involves supernatural beings and alternative love. I also loved the fact that the novel was about individuals who are not accepted by society finding acceptance and love. I think a lot of people can relate. All of us who feel we don’t fit or are not accepted in society can read this novel and find hope. No matter how much you feel that you don’t fit, there is someone out there that will accept you warts and all.

Diabolical Sword (The Charm Collector Book 1) by Melissa Erin Jackson – Review by Dahnielle Hibbert

Diabolical SwordDiabolical Sword by Melissa Erin Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Daughter of a bounty hunter and a charm collector, Harlow is an amazingly strong character. The author really did a stand out job of adding all the details you could possibly need to this story to flesh out every character, even the character of the sword itself. This original story line is action packed and wouldn’t let me go even after I had read the last page! I look forward to what I am sure will be more harrowing adventures in the next chapter with Harlow and the Sword! If you are looking for an original, fun, mystical, magical adventure with beloved characters who are strong, witty and charming, look no further as this book has it all!

Conveniently Yours is the first book in the Titans of Manhattan series by Anise Storm. This is the first book I have read by this author, but I look forward to reading more.

When Caspian is tasked with what seems like an unlikely goal by his uncle in order to take over the family business it is fate when he bumps into his childhood neighbour Paisley, who is going through a challenging time in her life. As the couple gets to know each other better they find that the marriage of convenience can be more than just a contract. This book has some really powerful storylines and I really enjoyed it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Can I just say…. WOW! I was introduced to Derek and Julia in book 1. Born to Fall book 2 is their story. I really enjoyed watching Julia’s character grow and too see just how patient Derek was with her. The author did an amazing job. The details made it super easy to create moving pictures in my mind. It was as if I was watching the story in my mind. There was a perfect balance of love, lust, rage, sorrow. Can’t wait for book 3 and the next couples story.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was so excited for Book 2. I absolutely loved Book 1. Time Traveling Historical Romance? YES! It’s right up my alley. I wasn’t sure what to expect in book 2, I was kind of worried that it wouldn’t be as good as the first one. It was so great! I was not disappointed; I think my expectations were exceeded! This was such a well-told story. I felt all the emotions here, I felt what Kat and Philip were feeling. The writing was so well done that I felt like a fly on the wall watching it all happen. Pick up both books, you won’t be disappointed. This will quickly become one of your favorite book series and a new favorite author.

Whatever Tomorrow Brings (Embrace Tomorrow Duet Book 2) by Amy Argent – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Whatever Tomorrow Brings (Embrace Tomorrow #2)Whatever Tomorrow Brings by Amy Argent
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This one was even better than the first I would say! This one was more dependent on the character traits and their love, it was very real, this is a story I shall not forget anytime soon, the emotions, they were so real, I felt so many things, the tears I shed were real, it was a emotional read, but a very good read!

Tori and Will had a love like no other in the previous. In this one Tori gets hope within her that Will may have a chance to beat this cancer and they can have the life they dreamed of. Is hope enough though? Is these extra trials something Will would really want? Will gives everything his all, but sadly things take a worst turn with regards to his immune system. It was heartbreaking to see Will and Tori fighting so hard for their love, knowing they may never get the life they dream of and deserve. I loved the more depth we got of them both as characters, I felt I knew Tori and Will, but as I read on they were more amazing than I ever thought possible. The love they had and shared was real, and it was better than any love story I could have ever hoped for.

I cried a lot while reading, there was sad and heartbreaking moments and there was beautiful moments as gorgeous as a new say sunrise! Their love was real, and it was an amazing read, and this is a story I will not let go of for quite some time. This book taught me things I needed to remind myself about life and love. It was a breath taking book and beautiful. I wish the novel could have lasted longer, I was co connected to them and the other supporting characters, this was a love story that some of us really want but only get to imagine and long for! Tori and Will though they met under circumstances that were not the ideal or what was expected, the outcome went beyond that and more. Their love and connection was beautiful and real. It was real. Read this and feel those emotions, I speak of, you will understand…

Again this emotional impact of a story is one that is not to be missed. It is a book everyone should read. It really sucks you in and takes you feel things and think on things you never thought possible. The love was shining through the pages of this amazing book. Will and Tori were a dynamic duo that met when they least expected, even if the timing was not right, their love was. It was a story that made me cry and and again, but made me feel so much bliss at the same time. Please read this, you wont regret it

Nite Fire: Flash Point by C. L. Schneider – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Flash Point (Nite Fire, #1)Flash Point by C.L. Schneider
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I simply loved this gripping book, and how the book takes off and how it soars basically from there, I was very impressed, and consumed into the story line, it was a great start to a series for me, I will be for sure reading the next installments. The author knew how to write a very much captivating novel!

Dahlia was such an awesome and strong character She was not a force to be reckoned with I loved how she was a from two different more less creatures of this Earth. She lived her life thinking one thing, then to her surprise not everything was what it seemed, I could even feel her shock and the feelings associated with it. I connected to her so easily, I felt I was right there with her even though the very much action scenes! She was strong as said, she faced many things, is the true danger out there in the world and the creatures she faces or is the battle of belonging the one creature she will need all her wit against?

The story was full of action, and suspense that kept on going, which I loved. It was never really a dull moment when reading this book. it kept me hooked and on the edge wanting to know more and what the next events would lead to. Things happened drastically, but I will say when I came to the end, I know more questions will develop in the next novel, and I can not wait to get my hands on it and read it!

Wonderful suspenseful writing. The author is very talented to say for sure, and wrote a very gripping amazing novel. I simply loved it and it was the perfect blend of fantasy and suspense. I could not get enough of this book and Dahlia! High recommendation, this is not one to be missed!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness! This sequel to Embrace Tomorrow does not disappoint. A ride on the emotional roller coaster. I found the quick recap by the author very helpful for those that have read the first book. The trails and challenges faced by Tori and Will will take you through every emotion, you will even find yourself tearing up. These guys have been through so much. They have a terrific group of friends. The story is written in such a way that you feel part of it. It truly resonates with you. If I didn’t have a kiddo to take care of, I would have finished this book in one night because I would have stayed up reading. It is that good. I highly recommend this series. Another of my 2021 favorites.

Whatever Tomorrow Brings is the second book in the Embrace Tomorrow Duet by Amy Argent. I absolutely loved this book just as much as the first one. I highly recommend reading this in order as this one picks up where the first one left off . I pretty much tuned everything around me out. I found myself lost in the pages while reading through teary eyes. Some were very happy tears while some were sad tears. I loved everything about this book from the wonderfully written characters to the amazing storyline . Amy Argent knocked it out of the park with one . Get ready to be taken on one heck of an emotional rollercoaster ride with this one. Grab some kleenex because you’ll need them. I’m not going to give anything away but I will say this ,I highly recommend reading this book you won’t be disappointed I know I sure wasn’t. Im looking forward to reading more from this Author.

Practically Pagan - An Alternative Guide to Magical LivingPractically Pagan – An Alternative Guide to Magical Living by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The author begins this book by saying that all books are magical, I most definitely agree, and as you can guess this one is absolutely brimming with magic.

I picked up this book looking for something different to slightly challenge the normal, and this book certainly achieved that. It can be slightly repetitive at times, although I do think the messages are important ones.
I would say that this book might not be for everyone, you need to have an open mind and a curiosity for finding the magic within your own life. If that’s the case, you will really enjoy this book. This is my first time reading anything of this style or genre, but I will certainly be open to reading and learning more.

The Box: A Greek Gods Urban Fantasy Romance (Her Three Immortals Book 4)The Box: A Greek Gods Urban Fantasy Romance by Hazel Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

With this being the last book of this series, I have so many mixed emotions. The storyline has been amazing from start to finish and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to read every word. Each book is a perfect continuation from the last. There is nothing that remains unknown while the stories are going on and it is fascinating to read the scenes happening from each person’s perspective. In this final installment, we are able to see Vanessa’s final test and what will happen should she complete it. Once again, there are mothers at play attempting to stand in the way of divine true love for the most selfish of reasons. There is drama from the first page until the very end and it will keep you on the edge of your seat! Raef deals with his mother – as do the others – and they all come to realize that the truth of their abilities and capabilities far surpasses the “truths” that they have known for as long as they can remember. We finally see what will become of Dorian’s deal with the Underworld God. So much happens in this final story. The author truly wrapped most everything up in a beautiful way and left me craving more of the story in the future. While there are no real cliffhangers, I long to see what becomes of the information that we are left with and the characters as they go through their new normal. I am also left wondering what will become of Gorgonita and what the final interaction that we see truly means. If you have yet to read this series, start with book one and don’t stop until you finish it all! You will not regret it.

This was a great conclusion to the Her Three Immortals series! It was a very enthralling, entertaining and quick read. This book is just like the others in the series, and has all you can ever want from a book series. These books have spice, they’re entertaining, they have humor, they’re inspirational and the events are quick so it doesn’t feel like you’re reading this book forever. I’m so glad I decided to pick up this series! I can’t say which book is my favorite but I really did enjoy this book. I feel like the ending was absolutely perfect. If you like spicy books with an entertaining storyline this is the series for you! And this is not a standalone series, each book needs to be read to understand what happens.

I will be completely honest, I was several chapters in when I realized I goofed and started with the fourth book in the series. I have a bad habit of liking covers and diving right in. With that said, STILL this book was amazing. Fantasy novels just take me on a wild ride every time. I’m sure I would have appreciated this story even more and understood things better if I had started from the very beginning with book one, and I fully intend on going back to the start as soon as I’m done writing this review! The world created was fantastic. All the different elements of the story brought together, the characters I met late to the game but still loved. I can’t wait to read this book again once I read the first three!

Conveniently Yours (Titans Of Manhattan BOOK 1) by Anise Storm

5 out of 5 Stars

WOW! This book is emotionally charged, steamy, and ah-maze-zing!!! To be completely honest, I had a little difficulty getting into the first chapter, but then, once I started reading the second, third, fourth, and fifth chapters I could not put it down. I was in. I agonized with Paisley. I was furious at Caspian. I gasped at Candy’s brazen behavior. I cried for Maureen. I wanted to throw things, like punches, at Preston!

Caspian Archer is nearly at the top of his game. He has everything he wants except the CEO title his uncle is about to give him. Caspian loves his millionaire lifestyle, Park Avenue penthouse, several friends with benefits that know it will never be more, great friends, a seat on the Board of Archer Industries and the power that goes along with it. Preston, Caspian’s uncle, suddenly puts a clause in his will that states that Caspian has to marry and remain so for one year or he won’t get the CEO title. Preston has stated that he would even sell the company. Caspian is at a loss.

Paisley Fischer has reached the end of her limits. Paisley is working to pay her mother’s hospital bills and the care is getting more expensive. None of Paisley’s art is selling at the gallery where she works. Her rent is due and she is not sure there is enough to pay it. She doesn’t know what she is going to do until she, literally, gets knocked down by fate. Paisley and Caspian were drawn to each other as children growing up in the same neighborhood. Now he has asked her to help fulfill his uncle’s demand.

Paisley and Caspian have a past but can they have a future?

This author has wrung all of the feels out of me again. I can’t wait for the second installment of this series.

This story was very intense as well as sometimes frustrating. A classic tale of an arrogant alpha male that doesn’t want to be tied down, while wanting all the benefits that come with a marriage. I am always intrigued how they come to fall in love when their relationship begins as a convenience. Caspian and Paisley were a delight to read about. Immersing myself in this story was effortless and a real eye opener. Original and dramatic, their path to happiness was not all romance and roses. It was hard fought. As the best ones are. This was no exception. The emotional pull was alluring and arousing. A clever and masterful tale that will be hard to forget. 5 stars.

Like books or movies of this sort, you’re unsure if you can believe what these characters are asking of one another.

While I have read a couple of stories by this author previously the synopsis on this novel had me incredibly intrigued before even reading the first page. Full of a billionaire romance, a marriage of convenience, emotions, drama, and so much more this book really had me on the edge of my seat. Not only does this author give us an incredible plot, but she gives us fantastic characters with interesting back stories. Caspian is a handsome billionaire that needs to find a wife, whole Paisley is a beautiful girl who is down on her luck and running out of options. What happens when their paths cross? What happens when emotions become involved? You’ll have to read this novel to find out for yourself.

Broken Chains by Karina Kantas.

When I read the blurb for this book I didn’t hesitate to grab a copy to dive into. It teased me with all the ingredients I look for in a dark romance. As dark romance is one of my favourite (sub) genres to read I am always on the look-out for more, and I have devoured more than my fair share of them. So, I was excited to find a new (to me) author to add to my collection. Not having read any of her work before, I wasn’t sure what to expect from one of her stories, but like I said, the story held the promise of being dark and delicious, so I lept into the story.
While I did like the story, I will be honest and say that unfortunately it didn’t live up to my expectations and didn’t quite deliver on the promise held in the synopsis, either, for me.
The beginning was slow to get going and then later when the pace did pick up, there were parts that still lagged/dragged. Then there were parts where the writing felt choppy or stilted, and some of the transitions from scene to scene, or character POV’s were quite abrupt. Again, this is just how I felt while reading it. I seem to be an exception to the rule, as I notice most other reader reviews for this story are quite glowing. But for me there were a few too many issues that pulled me out of the story and, quite frankly, left me a little disappointed. But maybe it is just me.
This is a dark romance with espionage, mafia, action, violence, brutality, dramatic moments, tension, and suspense. There are scenes that may trigger some readers, so be warned…

Happy reading!

Strong start to a mafia series! Suspense, politics, a large cast of characters (both likeable and ones you love to hate), assasins, mafia princesses, arranged marriages, bodyguards…this book has so many aspects that keep you enthralled, and it’s put together beautifully by an author who knows how to keep you involved in her world. Lil is an excellent female protaganist, Max is a dominant alpha male, and this story is an enthralling trip through their relationship as it grows and changes. I’ll be reading more books by this author!
