Lost Soul (War of Destiny # 1)Lost Soul by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book one in the War on Destiny series and oh boy I cannot wait to read the next. Juliana the protagonist made me laugh with her snappy remarks and sarcasm, and made me cry with every heartbreak she is faced with which are numerous. She starts out as a stubborn 15 year old and blossoms into a force to be reckoned with. I found myself rooting for Adam and Samuel at every turn hoping someone could give her all the love she needs. It’s been a while since I have read a book as quickly as I finished this one. This book was a lovely read with a fresh take on vampires that left me thirsting for more.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an emotional read. I found this story to be original and unexpected. Grace and Ian become roommates because of circumstances that have Grace needing to move out of her friend’s place quickly. Ian has a very big secret that he’s trying to keep from ever coming out. Grace has some issues in her past that she’s not sure she will ever be ready to talk about. The chemistry between these two is off the charts. This book had romance, pain, love, a shocking surprise that I didn’t see coming, great characters and so much more. This is the first book I have read by this author but it definitely won’t be the last. This author wrote a great story that I highly recommend.

Checking Boxes by Magdoline Ward

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Checking Boxes kept me intrigued from the beginning. I will definitely be on the look for more.

Grace is tired of having people over at the apartment she’s staying in. Deciding to move out she’s lucky her neighbor is looking for a roommate. Could it be too good to be true? The quote I chose for Grace is: all.”“You don’t need to worry about me. We’ll figure it out. But you can’t change things this fast, from total strangers, into comfy friends.”

Ian is keeping a secret from everyone and he knows no one will uncover it. He knows everything there is to know about Grace. Is it stalkerish? Yes, but he does it anyway. The quote I chose for Ian is: “I’ve learned it the hard way. You burn yourself out trying to ignite another soul. It’s not worth it, trust me.”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was obsessed with this series from the beginning! Definitely read the first books in the series, as they follow the same storyline and you would be missing crucial information if you don’t! Vanessa goes through alot in the span of these four books. Going along with her on the journey was quite the ride. I enjoyed meeting each of her immortal men, and the conclusion wrapped it up nicely. Honestly, I cannot pick which immortal man I liked best, but you dont even have to choose! The story is filled with romance, spice, family, and mahem from the very first book. If you have been thinking about giving this series a go, do it. I will be looking out for more from this author.

It Just Comes NaturalIt Just Comes Natural by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This third book in the Powder River Pack series may be my favorite one so far. After all there is romance, mystery, intrigue, duty, responsibility and fate. What more could you want?

Brandon is the pack jokester, likes to have a good time, but realizes it’s time for some responsibility and joins the military. One crazy night on the town he meets the one person that can turn him inside out and change his life, his fated mate. Macy goes into the town to let loose, and finds the undeniable attraction she has toward Brandon. They have one great night together when reality steps in and pulls them apart. Macy runs away and Brandon must leave early for his military service.

Once his military obligations are complete, Brandon returns to his hometown desperate to find the one who got away and took a piece of him with her. He knows it’s a longshot but fate must be smiling down on him and he finds Macy in the local bar. Can Macy overcome her feelings of the past to build a future with Brandon? This book has everything you could wish for in a shifter romance and I lost sleep over this book because I just couldn’t put it down. I recommend you read the other books in this series so you get to know the other pack members though this can be read as a standalone book. I cannot wait to see what else this author has in store for us next!

He had all the money in the world—and it wasn’t enough to keep his life from falling apart…

Rodeo star Colt threw everything he had at his sister’s illness, and nothing helped. Now that she’s gone, he’s not sure how to deal with his own feelings, let alone care for the baby she left behind. He needs help—desperately. Which might explain the completely inappropriate feelings he’s starting to have for his sister’s best friend…

Evelyn has traveled the world, studied art in London, and trained in Venice—but at heart, she’s still a Texas girl, silently pining for her billionaire cowboy. Colt is different now, though. Wounded and broken. She knows she can help him care for the baby. But convincing him to open his heart and trust in love again…well, that’ll be considerably more difficult.

Money can fix a lot of problems—but a happily ever after can’t be bought. So, if Colt and Evelyn want theirs, they’ll have to fight for it…

Seductively Yours is the third book in the Titans of Manhattan Series . This is a Contemporary Romance that is Hot and Steamy. This series is on my list of favorites by this author and its definitely going on my list of re-reads. This is a fast paced story that once you start reading you mine as well plan on not being able to stop until you finish. This author continues to amaze me with her attention to detail and I love her style. She puts just the right amount of sizzle and makes me want more. Her characters are fun, relatable and easy to fall in love with. I’ve been patiently waiting for this book and it didn’t disappoint me it blew my expectations out of the water. I do highly recommend reading the first two books if you haven’t already started, they are just as good as this one plus you get to read about the other Titans. This is Mason and Rhyann’s story. She’s got big dreams and one them was being excepted into one of the biggest Ballet schools . She earned a scholarship and soon finds herself needing to make some money as she’s learning everything is expensive. Her roommate suggests Pole Dancing and she then finds herself at Mason’s Club as a dancer. Mason oh Mason he’s one of the Elite Titans of Manhattan and owns a super popular nightclub. He doesn’t do relationships he’s a one night only kinda guy. Rhyann is a familiar face to Mason and he soon realizes why they had a one night stand. You guys I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Its more than worth it. I can’t wait to read more from this series and this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The second book in the Powder River Pack Series is a knock your socks off story. There seem to be stories inside of the main story and the author does a wonderful job bringing them all together.

Rylie is an outdoorsy biologist, not afraid to work and get her hands dirty. After heading back to her hometown eager for the career prospects she might find, she runs into someone that could alter the course of her entire life if she lets him of course. Who is this charmer that she can’t get out of her head? His name is Mason, and he just so happens to be the alpha of the Powder River Pack, single dad and bar owner. Mason has almost all but given up on finding his fated mate and the prospect of raising his son by himself. That is until he catches Rylie’s scent on the dance floor of his bar and is inexplicably drawn to her, but it seems he is not the only one who feels their connection. The unfortunate thing is Rylie has no idea about Mason’s kind and Mason has no idea how she’ll react when she finds out. Can Rylie open herself to the possibility of not only mated to a Werewolf but also the leader of his pack and help him lead? This book gave me all the feels and you can’t help but pull for Mason and Rylie. After all they were literally made for one another, can they get out of their own heads to find their happily ever after? If you love shifter romances, this is one series you should jump on reading!

I love finding new authors and series. This book is the first book in this series and also first book from this author I have read. I enjoy a nice historical romance once in a while and this certainly was just that. I liked the fact that this was a clean romance. It made quite a change from the norm and was very well written. The characters are realistic and quickly draw in the reader.

I really enjoyed the escape into this world along with the balance of romance and just the right amount of drama. I found that the book was a breath of fresh air. The author brings the characters to life and I just did not want to put the book down. I will read more from this author in the future and this series.

A Second Chance (The Powder River Pack #1)A Second Chance by Brooke May
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love all kinds of shifter books and most of them have a fated mate, sometimes things go according to plan and other times not so much. This book will send your emotions on a roller coaster ride, sometimes cheering for Derek and Anabelle and other times yelling at them for being so blind.

Derek and Anabelle find love in each other at a very young age, but even the best love sometimes falls apart. At one point finding themselves apart and broken hearted, each with the same feeling of discontent in future relationships. Annabelle goes off and makes a career for herself, but finds she must return as her estranged father is dying. Out of a sense of guilt and duty she finds herself pulled back to fetterman, Wyoming. Where she must face Derek again except he is no longer the young man she once loved, he is bitter and angry and confrontational. Can Derek and Annabelle find their happy ever after together or is the past too much to overcome? Will Annabelle sacrifice the career she has built for herself for the love of a man she has never gotten over? This is a book all about how we don’t always know the full story when it comes to relationships. It is about overcoming the past and working to build a future worth living for. I loved this book and am super excited to read what comes next for the Powder River Pack!

I was completely drawn in by this story even before I read the first page. The author did an amazing job of capturing my attention with the blurb and then did an even better job of keeping that attention throughout these 3 fantastic books. The story was so well thought out and developed. It was exciting to read but also had more detail than you would usually see in a YA novel.
I loved the characters in this book too. I thought they were really easy to connect with and their story was complete believable. I loved to see how it progressed across the series and how they evolved.
This really is a great series that is a must for any fan of this genre.

The Killer Jack Mystery (The J.D. Pierson Case Files)The Killer Jack Mystery by C.H. Sessums
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this historical cozy mystery story to be an enjoyable and entertaining read, and one which had me hooked from start to finish. It’s a fairly short novel but it’s definitely action packed with plenty of plot twists that kept me guessing. Our heroine, Jenny is trying to keep her father’s PI business running after he’s turned to alcohol. A call from the state penitentiary is the start of a new case, searching for a stolen necklace but soon Jenny finds she’s in the sights of a killer. The call is from her Uncle who is in prison for robbery, but he’s concerned about his daughter, Jenny’s cousin Betty and needs help.
Betty is wearing a pendant which Jenny is pretty sure is stolen but her cousins not talking about it. Things take a dramatic turn when Betty gets gunned down and the necklace is stolen. Suddenly Jenny is not just looking for a thief but also a murderer, she needs to discover the identity of a man named Jack before he disappears again, and maybe even kills again. I found the main character, Jenny very likeable and relatable and felt engaged with her, as though I was alongside her as she investigated. The author’s descriptive narrative made the setting come alive and the added historical details made me feel I had gone back in time. I look forward to future books in this series, featuring Jenny.

Depending On YouDepending On You by Jessica Aiken-Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Prom night is supposed to be one of the best nights of one’s life. Cati and Patti were ride or die friends, and what they planned to be a special night turned into their life long nightmare. Cate Silver killed a man and Patti helped “hide” the incident for 20 long years. After this night, the girls didn’t know how to deal with life and drifted apart, each dealing with their own monsters. However, once again, 20 years later, they needed each other because the cold case was being reopened. As ride or die friends do, no matter how long it’s been, they support each other and come up with a plan on how they will survive.

This was such a great friendship book. I know it sounds kind of weird due to the fact that someone dies, but sometimes friendship goes beyond what is acceptable. The author did such a great job in the description of the characters that you felt that you really knew each one and how they would respond in these different situations. It made me think of my best friend the whole time. Each person needs a ride or die friendship that will be there, support you, and do whatever to ensure your safety because that is how much they love you. However, I think that this book also provides a great lesson for young people – the truth will always set you free and may bring unexpected outcomes.

Faith, a very strong, emotional female lead. I absolutely love this book. The historical aspect of the romance and the fact that it is centered on such a strong, loving family is beyond awesome. I appreciate the fact that this romantic novel was written so sweetly and that all the characters are such strong in their faith and love of God. When vital information comes up missing, boy, I was so wrong as to who my accused was. The characters came to life in my head, and I could picture myself in the era of the book. My favorite character must be Evie though, since all she seems to care about are books, I can relate to her so well! A great read full of intrigue, mystery, faith, and romance. I cannot wait to read the other books in this series. I just love how the family sticks together to help a friend and that it is done in such an innocent and pure form of love. A must read! I just love the fact that old-fashioned courting was taking place. Who doesn’t like a good romance that is clean and pure and perfect?

Cate and Patty have the type of friendship that everyone longs for. You instantly get swept up in this wonderful story. It takes place over the span of 20 years and shows the ups and downs of how friendships evolve over the years. This is a book of mystery, secrets, first loves and shows the importance of family. Even does a good deal of showing that family isn’t always by blood. This whole story resonated with me on so many levels. I highly recommend this story.

Been my first book by this author I didn’t know what to expect. There’s a chemistry spark between this pair from the start. However, there is more beneath the surface and skeletons in both closets to be revealed. Ian is more than he seems on the surface. Can they heal each other’s past wounds?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am sure I am not the only one that wants to know how the author really came up with this crazy story, and certainly not the only one glad that she did! This was the first book that I have picked up by this author, and I very much enjoyed the fast pace of this adventure. Back in college, I did have a friend that lived her life very similar to the way that Stella lives hers, so I did have fun being transported back to the good ole days through her character. It really did feel like we were in an alternate version of Grey’s, or some such show, with the way this author really brings the reader into Metro Gen216.

I do wish there was a bit more of a backstory on Stella, I know that there was some, but the book was so quick to jump into the here and now moments that it made it a little difficult to completely relate or feel for her character as a whole. A large part of me really wishes it was a graphic novel, so we could see how hot these colleagues of hers really are, though I did immensely enjoy picturing Marcus, if we’re honest, we all need a little luck of the Irish! I recommend this quick, fast paced read, to anyone looking to get all down and dirty with their books. P.S. Pulling my hair out with the cliffhanger, and you will be too.

This book is an emotional ride. With the dual POV I got to see what each person not only experienced, but what they thought about people and situations. Those tidbits just brought me that much closer to the characters of Grace and Ian. Neighbors, Grace and Ian soon become roommates as Grace becomes in need of a better environment to stay in. Ian offers her a room as long as she cooks for him every night at his expense. Sweet and frustrating moments both arise for these two as Ian struggles with a secret from his past that he is determined to keep buried. Grace isn’t sure how to take Ian and his monumental hot/ cold spells, which makes her reevaluate herself and her past as well. What does the future hold for these two? This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but it is definitely worth the read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was immediately hooked when I read the title and synopsis of this book. I’m a huge fan of comics, cosplay, sketching/drawing and writing so once I had the chance to read this book, I was all in.

The author quickly introduces you to the main character, Layla who works a 9-5 in real estate as a personal assistant, which she is not passionate about in any shape or form. Her true passion is in drawing, comic books and cosplay.

In the beginning, you follow Layla’s short trip to a comic convention where she attends wearing her handmade cosplay outfit, representing her favorite female comic book character, Diablo that was created by her favorite writer, Vic Williams. When she meets the comic writer (Vic) and artist (Daisy) face to face, Layla is starstruck. She literally cannot speak besides a few mumbles. Thankfully her bff, Alex comes to the rescue with introductions.

You cannot help but smile when Daisy immediately approves and appreciates Layla’s cosplay costume. Her enthusiasm and genuine kindness is a breath of fresh air.

Vic’ interaction with Layla was sweet and a bit flirtatious. Layla of course was smitten and this starts their journey into friendship and more.

The book successfully keeps you engaged and will easily make you laugh, smile, and possibly cry since the author clearly evokes emotion with her words.

I really enjoyed this book, the characters, the storyline and it’s intent.

Also if you are a fan of romance writing, you may enjoy the author’s writing with the few encounters referenced in the book.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

I loved reading this book. The feelings between Nico and Faith was pulling on my heartstrings. Family means so much to these two it almost nips things in the bud. Being in historical 1900’s was a great look into the world that was so long ago and the mannerisms and culture. Nico’s background of not having much hit close to home. I felt for him because i know what it’s like. Having a relatable character is huge for me. It makes the story more real. The pacing in this book was well paced out, it didn’t take too long or drug it out at a slow pace. The writing was phenomenal. It felt like I was right there being a background character watching these events between Nico and Faith happen. I cant wait to read the next books in this series!

The writer has a great attention to detail, not many books I read am I able to fully picture what is going on in the book but this author had such talent that I was able to do so. She did a great job transitioning between the characters throughout the story, I was easily able to see things from each of their points of view. I’m very excited to jump into reading the next book

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Magic, and Werewolves, and evil oh my! This trilogy was fun to read! although I was a little lost about a few things that happened in the past, I was able to get through with no problem! Now that I know it takes place after The Hawthorne Trilogy, I will be going back and reading that one too! The tension between Aiden and Maddie is so palpable you can cut through with it like a knife! Aiden hates Maddie with a fiery passion for unknown reasons to her. While dealing with Aiden’s hatred, she has to deal her magic not working properly!! My heart went out to this girl who has the weight of the world on her shoulders. The writing and pacing was done beautifully I couldn’t put it down! I cant wait to read more by this author!
