My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this fantasy box set. This is a great box set that contains three books that will take you on an adventure of magic, shifters and fantasy. They are well written stories that pulled me in from the beginning. The characters are creative, unique and had me coming back for more. One of the things I enjoy most about a box set is that you don’t have to wait for the next book. This is an author that is still newer for me and I enjoy their writing style as well as their attention to details that make the story easy to read. These are engaging stories that are fast paced and full of adventure. This is a young adult series that anyone would enjoy reading. These stories are full of action and the characters bring the story to life. I enjoyed the growth of the characters in each of the stories as well as the growth of the plots. I really enjoyed these stories and highly recommend them. A box set worth the pick up.

This is the author’s debut book and let me tell y’all something. She! Did! Not! Disappoint! I was not able to put this book down. The story between Ian and Grace is something you don’t want to miss out on reading about. The author’s writing style is something that I’ve never seen before, but I really loved it. I 10/10 recommend this book to anyone who loves steamy romance books. I’m excited to see more of her works in the coming future.

The Worry KnotThe Worry Knot by Mary Evanson Bleckwehl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a heartwarming story that brings you back to the life of a middle schooler. As a teacher, I can say that most students worry about two-three things: grades, crushes, and maybe sports. Rourke was trying to make this his perfect year, but certain obstacles, like crazy neighbors and the typical antics of middle school, made that somewhat difficult. What I loved about Rourke’s story is that it took us into the mindset of a young teen and made us realize that they actually do worry about more than just two-three things. Rourke has a lot of problems to deal with beyond his own, including the struggles of his sibling and classmates. Over time, I truly began to understand his worries. While I thought that this would be a fun and interesting read, I was not expecting the deep issues that this book so heartwarmingly covers. I highly recommend for people of all ages.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this student – teacher romance story. It is a well written story about a teacher and a student who are attracted to each other and after spending some time tutoring, they begin to fall for each other. Their relationship is a no no but you certainly don’t want to miss what happens with these two. I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry throughout the story. They made the story easy and entertaining to read. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. A shorter story that packs a punch in the romance department for sure. I really enjoyed this story and what the characters brought to the story. I highly recommend this book.

Class Clown (Ghost Girl Series) by Allan Evans – Review by Shea Gilkerson

Class ClownClass Clown by Allan Evans
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book originally caught my eye when I saw the spooky cover – and further when I saw clown in the title. I’m not a fan of clowns in general, but love spooky stuff, paranormal, dystopian kind of reads. This book, and Abbey, are not the “norm”. When you do something so different from the rest, it is either a great move or disastrous, and the author with this move did something outstanding.

Abbey Hill has always had spooky events happen to her with ghosts being drawn her way. Most are friendly, or just confused, but some are downright evil. So many relationships have been lost thanks to her “talent” – and that’s not what she would consider it. After taking a fun family trip to the circus with her parents, Abbey begins noticing ghost clowns everywhere she goes. While that is bad enough, her friends then start disappearing. Is Abbey the cause of her missing friends? Can she fix this?

Abbey is really a great, strong, fun character and carries the story incredibly well. I love her sense of self, her snarkiness, her taste in music – on top of all the other dramas and messes of high school, everything blends so well and is a really intoxicating read. I’m thrilled to find several more books by this author to dig into next!

Seductively Yours (Titans Of Manhattan, #3)Seductively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rhyann Ward has just been awarded a scholarship to a dance school in Manhattan, New York. Now that she is starting on the path to making her dreams come true she needs to find a job. Her roommate takes her to a club called Vault where she unknowingly has a steamy night with one of the Titans, Mason Steele. It was only supposed to be one night and they’d never see each other again. When Rhyann applies for a dancing position at Vault she and Mason are in for a surprise. Knowing that she is off-limits due to his own set of rules, will Mason be able to stick to them?

Another great book in the series. It’s a quick read with plenty of steamy moments. I am enjoying this series and can’t wait to read the next book.

I get excited for every release with this author. She dishes out the drama, suspense, anticipation, and spice like no other! This series quickly rose to the top as one of my favorites, and every book just gets better.
Mason and Rhyann were hot! The push and pull as they fight their feelings only adds excited fuel to the fire. Mason is a sexy and successful Alpha who also happens to be a top bachelor. Rhyann is a beautiful ballet dancer at a prestigious Ballet School. New York was her calling after she received her scholarship and now the question is how to survive. Together they had an unforgettable one night stand and circumstance reunites them again. There is soo much more to things between them and the journey to them finally being together will definitely draw you in page by page.

Seductively Yours (Titans Of Manhattan, #3)Seductively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a great 5 star read. I’m loving the Titans series so much.
I was pulled right in and couldn’t put it down.

Rhyann is on a scholarship and her dream is to become a dancer. Her roommate talks her into moving with her to an expensive apartment that her father is paying for. In order to get some extra money she talks Rhyann into applying for a job with her.

While at a club Ryhann has quite the steamy hookup, what she didn’t expect was that it would be her new boss. Mason is a Titan and he has a specific rule, he doesn’t date his employees. When Ryhann gets hired at his club he has to keep his hands off. Will he be able to keep his hands off?

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I will say that Mason was infuriating at times but eventually grew on me. I loved Rhyann. She had a certain innocence to her and we saw her grow stronger throughout the book. I loved seeing the other titans as well. I would love to see more from these two. I look forward to reading the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today.

This was a really good read! While this wasn’t my favorite of the series, it was just as well written, entertaining, enthralling and steamy as the other novels in this series so far. I did enjoy it, it just wasn’t my favorite. This author is quickly becoming a favorite of mine because she writes (while not super realistic stories) in a realistic way that captures you and keeps you sucked into the story no matter what happens. I always know I’m going to be reading a great book when I pick up a new read by this author and this book didn’t disappoint! I can’t wait to read the next installment of this series!

The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla, #1)The Hunted by S.B. Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you happened to throw in an MC, I would really be in heaven but alas it was not in this book. Anyhoo back to this book. Talk about a page turner. A Vampire Navy SEAL who oozes mayhem and sex appeal is what caught my eye and made me pick up this paranormal, military romance.
The characters are well developed and likeable. The storyline is intriguing and full of suspense. It is captivating, and full of passion as the characters go from enemies to lovers. Susan gives us a gripping storyline filled with chemistry and passion, action and suspense and a few twists and turns.
With a vampire hunter, vampire SEALs, shifters, special powers, action and danger, and don’t forget the hot and steamy and sizzling sexiness.
Damnit cliffhanger!
This is my first-time reading Susan’s work and let me tell you I will be going back to check on those other sexy men and their stories in her other works.

I had a hard time connecting with the characters. I did like the small town girl goes to the big city. It is one of my favorite themes of this genre. I’ve read others in this series and this one was not my favorite compared to those. I did think the chemistry was good between Mason an Rhyann. I would read more books by this author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

The story is a student-teacher romance where age is a factor or is it? This is the companion story to the first book Professor Valentine in the Kirk University series. This story is told from Diego’s POV. I love stories that are told in different POV’s because I feel the story is much rounder and in depth understanding of the characters. This is a very very short novella but getting the male perspective is a good addition to this tale. This is where it all began.
Cassie is off limits but that doesn’t stop him from wanting her. Beautiful doesn’t begin to describe her, but does he really need more in his life with his ex-wife and brother?

3.5 stars

If you are a nerd or not don’t miss this original fun story. This is Quiana’s debut novel, and she has stated “It’s not perfect.” The story is slow to start out with but then slowly picks up. With a little work it could be great.
The author takes us on a journey into the world of comic cons and having been to one myself I can understand the hype and appeal.
Vic is her fangirl crush and the reason she finds herself in an awkward moment when she meets him wishing the ground would swallow her whole. Layla is quirky and fun, and I found myself laughing along the way. She runs into him again and sparks fly.
Vic is a comic writer and not at all what people expect but Layla may just be the one thing he doesn’t know he needs.
I look forward to reading more from this author as I think she will really fall into her own.

Seductively Yours (Titans Of Manhattan, #3)Seductively Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was book 4 in the series but, all the Titans books are amazing. Each one is steamier then the last.
This book has many repeat characters from previous books and a few new ones as well.

Mason and Rhyann met one night in a club. Met isn’t really the word I should use. They spotted eachother, danced and hooked up.

Rhyann is currently on a full scholarship with big dreams of being a dancer one day. Like most
College students, she needs to find a job and goes with her bad influence new bestie Allie to the Vault to interview for a job. When they get there, the owner….the man interviewing them is none other then Mason Steele….the man Rhyann hooked up with a few nights ago in the bathroom of this very same club.

Mason does not mix business with pleasure after something tragic happened years ago. There’s something about that one night stand a few days ago but he can’t seem to get Rhyann out of his head and she obviously feels the same way.

Working at the vault and staying out late has caused Rhyann’s grades to fall. She’s about to lose her scholarship so she tries to extra credit projects and stuff to bump up her grades. One professor knows what she does for a living and convinces her to come put on a show for him and he will change her grade.

That’s the #1 reason Mason doesn’t date his dancers. Dancers are only safe in his club. They should never go to do a private party.

This book was great. Mason is so torn throughout this book but I love it. Such a great read. Cannot wait for more!

The Hunted (Vampire Navy SEAL: Sam & Layla, #1)The Hunted by S.B. Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was certainly a book that grabs you right from the beginning. Bloodsuckers and humans, always an unfair fight. Layla gets herself tangled in web that raises red flags she just ignores. Sam Mason is the hot vampire target that she’s after. He’s a hot, Navy SEAL (yes, and a vamp) that’s got spice, romance and makes Layla and the reader fall in love with him. Can they work through the species difference? The books was engaging. It was a touch spicy with the romance and adventure. The characters were well-developed and well written. I even loved how sassy they were at times. My favorite part was when one of Layla’s sisters ends up compelled. It’s a chuckle moment. The plot seems a little much at times but it works overall. I recommend the read. I think romance readers will love it.

D.M. Earl is a new to me author, and I will be trying a few more books to see if I really like the writing style. I didn’t read the synopsis for this book, so going into I thought this would just be another MC book, and then it turned out to be a paranormal MC book. I did not like the cliffhanger at the end, I like the books I read to give me all the answers, I don’t want to wait for the next book. So I will be getting book 2 to find out what happens next.

The story is a sweet, realistic read of love and timing. I enjoyed the characters and story. I felt the story was dragging or a bit slow at different points. This just might be me and my timing of reading this book. I want to read the next book in the series because I liked the storyline and characters. I also loved the llama.

The next Titans of Manhattan is about to fall and is about to fall hard! It’s that time, book 3 is here! Seductively Yours brings Mason Steele to his knees unexpectedly.
One of the Titan playboys Mason Steele owns high end clubs that has an area which include high end dancers. What happens when his most recent hire becomes a scratch he desperately wants to itch but can’t.
Rhyann just arrived in the big city to follow her dreams of becoming a professional dancer. School hasn’t been easy nor has her dance classes. Allie, her roommate, decides they need a night out. the Vault is an upscale nightclub that little does Rhyann know is about to change her life.
These two characters dance around their sexual tension for one another to remain professional. Just brings a wonderful dynamic to the story.
I love seeing Mason brought to his knees after how he acted as a supporting character in the previous books. I also feel like this is my favorite book in this series thus far. The author does a wonderful job with these two characters, tying them in knots. Forcing them to grow, especially Rhyann being she’s so young. Because of all of that I can’t wait for book 4! My spidey senses say JC has a rude awakening coming his way!
Read them, read them all! I dare you!

Weep, Woman, WeepWeep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

La Llorona is a Mexican and Latin American folklore about a woman who is said to have drowned her children and haunts rivers and any bodies of waters wailing loudly for her children. This is a twist on the story with “marked” women being doomed to a lifetime of sorrow. Mercy and her best friend Sherry do what they can to not be another statistic, but when Sherry is pulled in and Mercy almost is their lives change for good. Their friendship goes separate ways as Sherry is doomed to an unfulfilled life. Mercy goes through hardship after hardship, but pushes through. Around town she is called many disturbing names, but years later the name that she is called that takes her awhile to hear that seems to define her the best. This novella is a great way to show the strength of a woman when everything is set against her. Will she be able to live out her life and find her way through it all or will she be another victim of the “Weeping Woman”?

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and – let me tell you – it will NOT be the last. This Young Adult Paranormal is led by a wonderful female character, Abbey, and is full of twists and turns that will keep you hooked. Like the title suggests, this book is full of clowns. Abbey’s high school is suddenly plagued by evil clowns and, since she can already communicate with ghosts, of course it’s up to her to deal with it. Even though this is the second book in the Ghost Girl series, I read it as a standalone and had no problem. My next endeavor will be to get the first! I recommend with 5 stars!

This story follows Ian and Grace and is 329 pages in length. Holy cow!! When Grace needs to move, she responds to a room mate wanted ad. Rent free and all she had to do is cook for him on his dime. Too good to be true? Maybe – maybe not (insert shoulder shrug). He is hot, but she seriously does want to get involved right now. Yet the chemistry between them is too much to ignore. But what will come falling out of the closet when the door is opened?

This was my first time reading a book from this author and it was a quick spicy read! Desmond and Emily both work at the hospital. Desmond is a doctor with a naughty reputation and Emily is an orderly that seems to play it safe. They work on different floors so they have never met until they both decide to go to the same bar on the same night. They don’t have the night of fun they want so they try again the next night with success! Something happens that changes things. I can’t give it all away but I will say I did enjoy this read. I know it is a Novella, but I wish it were longer and not so rushed at the end. I wanted/needed more. I can’t wait to read her next book. Maybe we will get an update on these two!
