Love's Reverie (The Stardust Duet, #2)Love’s Reverie by K.G. Fletcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second half of the series from KG Fletcher. I was just as satisfied with this book as I was with the first. The characters are just as unique here, and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat. We start right where the last one ended. Phillip decides to follow Kat into the future and potentially get his happily ever after. Brand new identity to avoid anyone realizing he’s a time traveler? Check. An altercation with Spencer AGAIN? Check. Surprises that cause everything to go wrong more than once? Check. I have read multiple time travel novels. I stayed away from them for a long time out of fear that they would all have the same premise and not keep my attention. I am so thankful that these books crossed my path and will gladly be reading any and everything that I can get my hands on by this author. If you’re looking for something that will keep you engaged from page one until the very end, these are most definitely the stories for you. If given the opportunities and challenges they were given, what would you do? Grab both halves of the story today! You will not be disappointed!

The Groomsman (Unexpected Series – Book 2) by Marina Hanna – Review by Desiree Ottinger

The GroomsmanThe Groomsman by Marina Hanna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mark and Lauren are two people on different paths in life until their best friends get married and they find themselves spending the night together. Of course, they THINK that it’s a one and done kind of thing until they find themselves drawn to each other again and again and – you got it- again. In the turmoil of them trying to figure out how to work together to both achieve a relationship that will work, secrets come to light on both sides. When push comes to shove, they have to decide if they will be able to work through their pasts in order to make a life together.

I feel like Ms. Hanna did a wonderful job of writing Mark and Lauren’s story in finding love. I was drawn to the Lauren and her girl friends’ friendship. While I could not particularly identify with Lauren, I have many friends who, I imagine, could. Mark was- what I think- a typical man who has been on his own for too long, playing by his own rules would be like. I enjoyed getting to see his world get rocked by Lauren.

Absolutely, an adult read!

Cross-Country Christmas (Silver Buckle Brides #1)Cross-Country Christmas by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

So, this is the first book I have read by this author, so I wasn’t quite sure what I was getting my hands on. However, I am a sucker for Christmas stories and a friend was reading it, so I thought why not. I’m glad that I did. Since I have finished this book we have had a couple of conversations over coffee about how much we loved it. It’s a wonderful, heartwarming family story. The holidays seem to be a time in the lives of family with strained relationships that can make it hard on everyone. And sometimes the holidays are just what’s needed to bring families back together. This book is filled with some of that sort of family drama and how love can help mend broken hearts. This is a very “clean” book in that there is no bad language or sexual filled scenes. There are some religious undertones in the story but nothing more than some scriptures. I liked this book and recommended it for anyone looking for a charming Christmas story.

Tenacious (Billionaire Bodyguards # 6)Tenacious by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 6 in the Billionaire Bodyguards series. This is the first book I have read, it can easily be read as a standalone book…. but it does intrigue me to go back and read the others to find out how we got to where we are.
This is Nick and Allie’s story. Allie is a nurse who from the start puts her patients and fellow staff first. An accident has her rushing to the hospital leaving a dinner party of her best friends. Nick does security and after meeting previously, has not been able to get Allie out of his thoughts. He personally decides to take over Allie’s security detail. Will Allie let him protect her? Will Nick be able to protect her from the dangers that are lurking?
I feel like I bonded with the characters in the book. The writing flows in a way that you don’t realize how long you have been immersed in their world.

The Elements of the Crown (The Elements of Kamdaria, #1)The Elements of the Crown by Kay L. Moody
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Elements of the Crown was a fantastic journey. Talise was a wonderful character. Growing up in “The Storm” put her at a disadvantage throughout most of her life but she worked hard and it shows. At a young age she was already shaping elements much better than other children her age. Fast forward 10 years and she has a chance to work alongside the emperor as a “Master Shaper”. Her only nemesis being Aaden, who is just as good if not better at shaping then her.

Aaden comes from the richer part of the world and has had everything handed to him. When the time comes to put their skills to the test for the emperor, he can’t decide who to take so he takes both of them. The emperor then puts the two through a series of trials to see who really is the better Master Shaper.

This book has so many twists and turns. It was hard to put down. The biggest twist of them all was a major “wait, what?” moment which I enjoyed immensely. Kay L. Moody is an amazing writer. I was hooked from the first chapter. I would highly recommend this series. After reading this first book, I will definitely be looking into Kay L. Moody’s other writings!

Fate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Ashleigh Sherel-Kidd

Fate, Frankincense & FuneralsFate, Frankincense & Funerals by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I originally picked up this title as a light little Halloween read. My first story by Naomi Valkyrie, I was immediately sucked into the beautiful world she’s created.
There’s something really beautiful about a love story set against the backdrop of death. I felt myself reminded a bit of Egyptian mythology, which made the story even richer for me, personally.
Acheron is a Vulture shifter- he touches and cares for the souls of the dead. Because of this, he’s seen as unclean, and he stays to himself. When he takes a job in the city, he finds himself drawn to Errapel, who is nursing the soul headed for death. By law, Acheron cannot take a mate, but as the two work together, we find ourselves wondering if the law is enough to keep them apart.

Truthfully a gorgeous short story, bursting with a myriad of emotions and brilliant storytelling. I really enjoyed Naomi’s storytelling, even though I’m not generally a sci-fi reader. She will definitely go on my “Always read,” list after this stunner of a story.

Who doesn’t love a romance with a little spice? The chemistry between these two kept the story interesting and me glued to the Kindle. I love a good romance story. This one was like going out with girlfriends. It was written like your best friend was sharing some of her best romances with you. They have some challenges to face, a few strong ones; but together they make it through even stronger. What starts as a one night stand can develop into an amazing love. It’s a quick read and will give you some heartfeels. It was a great read for short weekend. Loved every minute of the book. Highly recommend.

Twilight’s Curse by K.M. Wray is the first book in the Twilight Realm Trilogy. This is a brilliant YA fantasy book that really captures interest of all readers.
The story is an exciting one. It grabs your attention right from the start and really pulls you into it. Zoe and Nix are such great characters. They for me make the story. It can like you could really connect with them and the journey they go on.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and it was definitely a good one yo start with. I think it really showcased how strong the writing is and I am excited to ready the rest of the Trilogy.

Well, this chapter in the series was excellent and intense. The action was strong and gripping. I took my phone everywhere because I couldn’t stop listening. The characters seem to be well-developed. I love the fact that audio gives them an extra layer of personality. Don’t we all wear msdks while trying to solve problems? That seems so hard to hide who you are while going about daily life. I am a huge fan of this series. I definitely recommend this one to the sci-fi and fantasy lovers.

Twilight’s Curse is the first in a fantasy series about the Twilight Realm.
We find the story centered on Zoe, a magical elf with a long history of abuse, and Nix, the son of the King and Queen of the Twilight Realm.

An intriguing YA fantasy novel, this story had a likeable cast (although I personally found them hard to connect with), interesting world building and a slow burn romance sure to make you keep turning pages. I enjoyed this coming of age story, and look forward to the next book in the series. Definitely pick it up if you are a lover of fantasy!

We learn more of how Zelda feels about not being able to see ghosts. This was a pretty heavy book with all that goes on during it. I cried because I felt bad for Zelda and Scott. Overall a good series with an interesting theme.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this series in less than a week, back to back, I couldn’t put it down!
So. Many. QUESTIONS! Of course, I loved it (can I note that I am not normally a huge paranormal fan, but Barrett has written this series in such a way that it doesn’t have me rolling my eyes for how unrealistic ghost stories tend to be… like, I can actually imagine this all happening to someone as it’s being told. COLOUR ME IMPRESSED!) but I am now impatient for the next installment as there was a teaser at the end and it did its job. It teased. I have been teased. Now I want the book!
This installment followed Scott and Zelda again as they went through their lives; their family fuller and happier thanks to the addition of lifelong friends, but of course something is missing. Tragedy strikes, and then it strikes again, and again. They really cannot seem to catch a break. Meanwhile the three-year old little princess is taking everything in stride and their friends are assisting in every way they can. Secrets are revealed, boundaries and relationships are tested, and characters are introduced.
Can’t wait for the next book and to see what literary 180 Barrett will take this time!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this hot and steamy romance. The characters were really likeable and like.most people both hold secrets that they don’t willingly want to share.

Mark and Lauren meet at their best friends wedding and typical to tradition the bridesmaid gets off with the groomsman. For both of them it was just supposed to be a one night stand, neither of them expected their worlds to be shook to the core.

Meeting again they both agree to no commitments. However that turns out to be harder than either of them expected. So their feelings for each other grow they find it hard to draw the line between no strings fun and wanting more.

Lauren has trust issues which makes it harder for her to trust Mark so when he’s being hot and cold with her it sends her mind into a paranoid turmoil but does she have a right to be paranoid?

Mark has never let his guard down with anyone do finding that Lauren is breaking down his walls freaks him out. Can he let Lauren completely in and let her know the secret he’s hiding or will they end up breaking each others hearts as their secrets reveal themselves?

Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers, #2)Spoilsport by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and entertaining romantic comedy and book two in the ‘Pierce Brothers’ series about the naughty but nice brothers. This story focuses on Luke Pierce, and can be read as a standalone story but the characters do crossover. Luke is a divorced father and builder who takes life seriously, but he’s never forgotten the women he had an uncharacteristic one night stand with, Nadia. So when Nadia Alvarez asks him to help her with her fixer-upper house which is nearly falling down he says yes. However, Nadia makes it clear that if he wants the job then he’s not allowed to bring up their past and has to forget it ever happened. Nadia can’t believe that she’s so desperate for a builder that she has had to turn to Luke who she never expected to see again, as usually after a one night stand she moves on as she definitely does not believe in love.
However, spending time with Luke and trying to get him to see the fun side of life, like she does, becomes a challenge for Nadia and she may actually be at risk of falling in love. Meanwhile, Luke is trying hard not to fall for Nadia, again, but can’t resist her wicked sense of humour and the fun she brings to his life. This was a lighthearted, fun read with plenty of romance and a bit of drama which kept me happily turning the pages. I fell in love with the very likeable and relatable characters, and I felt engaged with them. The storyline flowed well making it an easy read, and the story had the right mix of laugh out loud moments, emotional moments and of course romance leading to some steamy scenes. The authors descriptive narrative bought both the characters and the setting to life, and I was cheering Luke and Nadia on and hoping they would get their HEA.

I wholeheartedly enjoyed this book!! Oh, my goodness it was good. The action, the magic, the enemies to lovers, the ENDING!? I was having a good time until the end of the book, it threw me into a world wind of emotions. If you are on the fence about reading this, please just do it, you will not regret it. Talise is driven by the need to escape the life she has as being born in the outer ring ‘storm’ and the only way to do that is to become to very best and impress the emperor, luckily, she is able to do something few can do where she is from and that’s shape all four elements, fire, air, water, and earth. She was doing just that until her competition shows up; he’s smart, rich, incredibly handsome, and just as talented as she is. She is supposed to hate him, not have butterflies every time he’s around or enjoy a smoldering kiss with him which leaves her wanting more than she should.
I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to read a brilliant YA Fantasy book. The world building is always so important to me along with character personalities and a great plot, Kay L. Moody hit the mark with all of them. This is a 5-star book!

I have read quite a few of Manda Mellett’s books in this series and I really loved them. Red’s Peril was slow going in the beginning but it picked up speed ½ wat through. The main character was well written and I loved his way of thinking he is also strong minded and hell bent on the road.
We met Red in a few other Satan Devils books he is the president of the Vegas chapter. Book one shows us how and why he became the president and the man behind the name. We watch him grow from a teenager taking care of his family to him on the road with a few twists and turns.
I will definatly be reading book 2 because I really want to find out what happened. I just hope book 2 has a greater punch for me…

Fate, Frankincense & Funerals takes place in Kharon the only place safe for Acheron, a Vulture shifter. He goes to spend the last moments with the dying to write their stories and help them be set free after death. He is shunned since he touches the dead and it is dangerous for him to go to Mandara. He makes the journey to the city that he is being pulled to, but is it just to write the last wishes and words of the dying or something more? He’s forbidden from taking a mate so what are his options when he meets Errapel to whom he is drawn to?

I actually really enjoyed this book. Naomi Valkyrie keeps you interested and even with the shortness of this book, you get a good sense of the characters and she even does pretty great with her character development. I did wish there were was more to this book and would have gladly kept reading. I am definitely interested in more of her books in the future!

This is an MM paranormal romance so I would recommend it to anyone who loves books like this! It was a good book and the first MM romance I had read. The writing is great and keeps you wanting more and it is a very quick read!

Fate, Frankincense and Funerals is a novel by Naomi Valkyrie.

The title of the novel caught my attention and I thought it was perfect for Halloween.

Acheron is a Vulture shifter that is shunned by society because of his involvement with the dead. He takes an assignment to go to the city of Mandara. There he encounters Errapel, the nurse that is looking after the soul he is there to assist. Errapel is also the reason he was pulled to the city in the first place. Law states that Vulture shifters are not to take mates so what is Archeron to do? Leave the man behind or fight society’s rules?

I love how Archeron tried to fight his attraction to Errapel at first. Even walked out the room when he suggested they could try. But I had a feeling he would give in eventually.

I really wish this was longer. It ends on a slight cliffhanger so I am hoping we will see these characters and learn more about their future together.

I was so excited when I got this book I stopped everything and started to read it immediately. I was hooked on the very first page and I couldn’t put it down until the end. I can’t wait to see what this amazing author will write next.

Enzo told Sofia that he would always be there for her but when tragedy strikes they are ripped apart. Sofia is now a clothing designer and she loves what she does.

She is face to face with Enzo once again. Sofia still had strong feelings for him but with a target on her back she needs to protect him.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A great romance is portrayed in “The Groomsman”. This is a story about an unavailable, lifelong bachelor, Mark, and a hopeless romantic, Lauren. They meet at a wedding, like so many singles, but instantly have a strong connection. Only problem is Mark is emotionally unavailable and only like to have sex with women, but never a relationship. Lauren has him questioning all of those original insights he thinks he has. What he doesn’t tell her is that there is another person in his life that takes precedent. Lauren is a great character and while always wanting to find love, she is patient, genuine, and willing to work for what she wants. I loved watching her grow as a character and feeling pleased in the end with how she handled herself. Mark, however, over complicates everything and you kind of want to shake him into reality. However, in the end, the two characters find their way, flaws and all, in order to find everlasting happiness. I really enjoyed their love story and watching the ups and downs so many of us have dealt with in our lives. I think they could also teach us a few things about love: it is worth waiting, don’t over complicate an existing feeling, and if you stay true to yourself, but learn from your mistakes, anything can happen!
