Face the Fire by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the 5th book in this paranormal romance series, although each can be read as a standalone. I had previously read the 3rd book in this series although I was unaware of this when I started reading, only to realise that I had read about these characters before.
I really enjoyed reading about Miles (Ari) and Bella again. Things have moved on a great deal since I last read about them and they are now the proud parents of twins who also have the same unusual power that their father has.
This book mainly revolves around their professional relationship with rap singer Pharoah, who in turn causes some conflict within their marriage. I was not a fan of Pharoah although I enjoyed reading about him and the troubles that he caused. He certainly was an entertaining character.
The author does a great job of writing an entertaining story that keeps the reader engaged, with a few twists and turns thrown in that I definitely didn’t see coming.
I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to others.
Shake Loose the Border by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Historical, Suspenseful and Romance that will pull at your heartstrings. It has been a while since I have cried this much, while reading. This is Maggie and Will’s dramatic story. So much happens and that is what will keep you reading. As you will not find a safe stopping point. You will have the need to find out what happens next. I could not put it down, nor could I stop the tears. I recommend you start with book 1 in this series. Just to get to know the characters in this series. This Author has an eye for details, as well has knowledge of the past. There is so much more I could say, but that would involve giving you Spoilers. No Spoilers in this review! I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. Please Hurry, Author!

Well, it’s been an adventure with this series. Miles and Bella have a few more adventures in this, book 5 of the series. The twins have been born. They are doing well with their music business. Haunting and tragic mishaps happen. Mysteries abound, adventure happens and tragedy occurs. Will Miles and Bella survive? Will their love be enough to overcome everything? This book gripped me and had me on an emotional roller coaster. Holy smokes, I’m not quite ready for it to be over. It’s one of my favorite series. I truly recommend this series to any suspense lovers. Give it a shot. Surprised me around many corners. Thank you, author, for a wonderful book adventure. I hope to read more of your books.

This was a quick, but amazing read. Lydia reminds me of me because I would do anything for my fiancé even if that means going with complete strangers and my ex-boyfriend into a jungle. He’s my best friend. Lydia is such a strong independent woman and I love it. That’s what makes her who she is. She is willing to do anything for the man she loves.

This was my first time reading anything by this gifted author, I am honesty quite hooked. The characters, the overall story, there was so much I loved, I would probably be writing a long time if I put all my feelings into words haha. I loved the flow, the story itself was a mystery with its own level of suspense! I will defiantly be reading the other books in the series by this author, they truly have amazed my mind in a good way!
I always have beena big fan of paranormal. This one struck my interest though on a new level. It was not just paranormal mixed with fantasy. I personally loved how the story with Miles and his paranormal ability with fire. I did not expect that at first glance. It made him a interesting character from the start. What really added to his make of being interest was his personality though. We all have our dark side right/ how dark is that side really to achieve what we want most in life? Bella was wonderful as well. She was very family orientated which I loved. I loved how she was career driven, and yet always made time for her husband and her kids. Put the whole family together and I will say I loved how supportive they all were of one another, strong family, loved that aspect! The characters were written very well and the story was very engaging, and I could not put this one down, as said I will be reading the prior books for sure!
The story itself really kept me hooked as well! That would be the work of this wonderful author, they knew how to keep the story flowing at a good pace, not too quick and certainly not to slow. They kept the reader as myself interested and wanting to know more of what would happen and what could happen next. I was in a lot of suspense and edge of my seat as I read, the book was a trill ride for me and I honestly could not get enough! Loved this book and its a must read for sure with no doubt!
As have said, this was a gripping amazing read. I loved the author and they gave gained a new stalker now haha. I loved this book and I think the rest of the series prior will be just as amazing! I do highly recommend this author and this book, as well as this series, wonderful on all ends, not ones to be passed up and that’s a fact. Highly recommend, this is something you truly will enjoy to your heart’s content!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I have picked up from her. Coupled with her writing skills and her attention to details make her stories hard to put down and entertaining to read. This book is no different. This is a paranormal romance story that is full of fantasy and magic. I enjoyed being pulled into the story by the characters who brought the story to life on each page. This is a fast paced story about love and betrayal. It brings suspense and twists and turns that you don’t want to miss. Miles and Bella are about to find out what the price is to success as they put not only themselves in danger but those they love as well. This is a really great story that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

Apocalypse Thoughts by Kendra Griffin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
You know a book is worth every penny when you wake up in the middle of the night just to read one more chapter, or hide out in the bathroom to read just one more chapter. That’s exactly what this book did to me. Every spare moment I had I was reading this.
And with the way these characters are superbly written no one could say differently.
If I had them at my side I would say “bring on the end of the world as we know it”
Born in Darkness by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Have you read Books 1 and 2? You dont have to, because this is a good standalone but the backstories of everyone blend well into each other if you have already read one and two.
This was action packed and I don’t want to give away spoilers but I will say there are dramatic moments and we all want to see if Em and Stefano wind up together because they have been in love since forever but there’s always arranged marriages in the Mafia family and there is talk of human trafficking so readers beware. There are dope women though who can kick some ass and that’s what we are here for. There is major empowerment in these books. Hard to put down and I am ready for more.
Exiled South by Harriet Cannon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Exiled South by Harriet Cannon is a story about Lizbeth Gordon, a high school counselor that loses her husband in an accident and decides to take a trip to find out what happened to her long-lost family members as a way of distracting herself. The story has a great setting in South Carolina where Lizbeth is originally from. I loved all the mentions of southern cuisine and locations. The book really excels during the second part that takes place in the past. I could read an entire book just about the civil war era Gordan family; especially Laurette. Like Lizabeth, I really bonded with her. I liked the strong bond between Lizabeth and Charlotte. It would have been good to see some character development with Lizabeth. I was left feeling like she didn’t really learn anything and there was plenty for her to learn. I also loved all the historical information. All in all an engaging story.
Whisper Creek by Valerie Davisson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was amazing!
Yes it is far into a series but I didn’t feel that it effected my understanding of the plot and characters.
I have really become addicted to female leads and this author is spot on in drawing you into the suspense.
I had no idea how this was going to go.
I love talent shows but now I am iffy.
Finding a dead body is where the author got me.
This is mystery and suspense hyped up too 1000%
When I tell you this had me so entertained I feel like a detective now.
I became part of this world in Oregon I cried and laughed and lost a few breathes.
I can’t wait to read more from this author.
ConQuest: The Art of Selling At Cons by Megan Mackie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
As a writer myself, when I saw this book I knew I had to read it, and I wasn’t disappointed one bit! The book wasn’t what I was expecting at all. I went into thinking it was geared for writers that wanted to sell at ComicCon. I was pleased to see that she wrote it so that writers could go to all kinds of Cons and be successful, as that is what initially appealed to me when choosing the book to read. There were definitely many points in the novel that might be common sense to established authors that were of great help to me, so I was very thankful that she wrote it to benefit all sorts of authors, whether they are just starting out in the publishing world or have been on the top of the New York Times Bestseller List.
Rebecca Steele Living The Dream by Joanne Patterson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
We are back for the last time as this series comes to an end in the final installment of the Rebecca Steele series. Living the Dream takes us on a wild ride as Becky juggles being a wife and mother, her concerts and the rodeo. We watch as she grows as a person and you will no doubt get emotional as she deals with trials and struggles with our favorite characters there to back her up. It’s a great story and I highly recommend reading this series.
Act I: Seed On Fire by Michele Sims
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a sweet love story with a twist. This book is full of action and suspense and pulled me right into the world of Cade and Lecia. This book really shows how much the dynamic between a married couple can change once a child is soon to enter the picture. The love between Cade and Lecia is so tender and sweet and it’s obvious how much Cade loves her even though they go through a rough patch or two. This book took a terrifying turn that had me on the edge of my seat eager to see what would happen next. I really enjoyed the scenes with the extended family in it and seeing the traditions and closeness that each of the families has. The ending was great and definitely left me eager to know more. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book this series.
A Moore Affair by Michele Sims
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a lovely short sweet read. Bella and Miles are trying to find a balance between private life and outside life. A balance that many find hard to achieve. I would highly recommend reading this series in order. I adore Bella she is such an assessment of the series.
Rebecca Steele Finding the Dream by Joanne Patterson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Finding the Dream is another great book by Joanne Patterson. In this second book of the Rebecca Steele series we once again get to fall in love with Becky. It has romance, drama, humor and to top it off we get to enjoy some horses too. Chance is sweet, strong and sexy and I loved reading
as Becky and him grow closer. This book is fast paced and good for readers who want something on the shorter side and easy to read. The characters are all easy to fall in love with and they will have you hooked on this series by the end of the book, leaving you anxious to grab the next in the series.
Swipe Right to Bite by Carrie Pulkinen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A succubus and and incubus who both want their freedom from Satan accidentally fall in love. Katrina runs a successful dating app helping her fellow supernatural beings have no strings attached relationships. Gabe is making his rounds as a motivational speaker of sorts by teaching people to connect on an emotional level rather than just physical. They both have their reasons for wanting their freedom, but is the cost of the deals made worth it? Can they coexist in the same city? I have read other books in this series and have enjoyed every single one of them. Once again the author does not disappoint and keeps the quick wit and quirky sayings coming. This book, like the others, can be read in one sitting as you will find yourself not wanting to put this down.

Ride with the Moonlight by Andrea Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ride with the Moonlight picks up right where the first book left off. This book pulled me in and held me tight till the end. I couldn’t put it down! Maggie and Will’s story is one that pulls on your heartstrings, hard. I love the use of the dialect to really bring you into 16th century Scotland. I can’t wait to read the third book.
Reviewed by @mimimadge
A book by this author never fails to completely grab my attention from start to finish, and it seems the audio books are just the same. Although I have read most of these books this is only the second audio book I have listened to. It took no time at all for me to be completely immersed in the story. I found myself making excuses to plug my headphones in so I could jump straight back in. The story translates so well into the audio version, losing none of the excitement you get from the actual book. It was so easy to imagine the characters and the events of the book. This is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend to everyone.
Forbidden Wolf by C.R. Robertson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book has it all! Action, adventure, romance, lycans and vampires! A paranormal Romeo and Juliet! I was sucked in from page one. Levi and Tasha are very likable and relatable characters. C. R. Robertson did a great job keeping the readers attention throughout the entire book. I can’t wait to continue along with their journey!
King of Pain by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a really interesting read. The world building is unique and interesting and so was the storyline and plot. However, I don’t think this is meant to be a standalone, and I haven’t read any of the previous books in this series. The storyline felt like a standalone but I think all thr world building has been done in previous installments and I just feel like if I would have read them first I would have enjoyed this book more. This is a Sci-Fi novel, and one that is unique in my opinion just because I haven’t read another book like it before. Overall I did enjoy this book I just think I would have understood it better and enjoyed it more if I had read the first novels in the series before hand.
King of Pain by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sci-fi drama, supernatural and suspense
This is the 5th book in the series. It’s full of suspense, intrigue and action. This story focuses on Trevyn and Lael and their journey to each other while fighting for their beliefs across the galaxy. Multiple POV, which I love, as it gives a depth to the storyline. There are new characters and it was also great to come across characters from previous books. This is a cleverly multi-layered and interwoven sci-fi story that easily draws the reader into a place that’s out of this world.
King of Pain by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the fifth book in the series but I was able to pick it up and read it as a standalone. I’m sure I would have gotten even more impact if I’d read the previous books, as I understand some characters from those appear in this book. However, I didn’t feel like I was missing anything.
Superb tension throughout the story. This book had more suspense in it than an entire eight book series I just read that was specifically supposed to be suspense. You don’t want to stop turning the pages, that’s for sure.
I enjoyed that there was depth to the story outside of the romance as they are dealing with some serious subject matter.
Good action. Great flow to the story. Excellent read.
Slick Running has me on edge from the start. Poor Heart. I am so investedinto all the characters in this series. I have got to say the narrator of yhis story do a great job. I cried so much at the start. Ella has a shock to the system meeting these bikers. What can change in her life. This is such a gripping story and really gives you a wider presticve on the world. Oh wow this one had me weeping, crying, cheering, so reflective. I really enjoyed the narration as well. My god there so much packed into one book.

King of Pain (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 5) by Donna S. Frelick
King of Pain is the fifth book in the Interstellar Rescue Series . This is a wonderfully written Sci-Fi/ Romance that will pull you in from the beginning and kept me turning the pages till the end. I pretty much tuned everything around me out and focused solely on this book and all the things that were happening. I’m a huge fan of this author and she’s one of the reasons I got turned on to this genre. I used to not like to read Scifi but I liked watching certain Sci-Fi shows on television. I would recommend reading this series in order as it will help with what’s been going on but can be read as standalone. Grab yourself a drink and get ready for quite the ride with fast paced action packed Enemies to lovers and more. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.
