Reunion in the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction, #4)Reunion in the Outback by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Back to Bunya Junction for the last book in the series – this makes me sad as I’ve fallen in love with the world and its characters but once again, it is brilliantly written.
This fourth book is a different kind of romance as the lead characters are married from the beginning (and not in a marriage of convenience) so that throws a new spin on things and shows the true side to all marriages – that there can still be miscommunication and misunderstandings. It also gives everyone hope that true love still exists if you’re willing to fight for it!
So goodbye to Bunya Junction, but still looking forward to future books by this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having grown up wanting to be a doctor and loving new babies, this third instalment checked all the boxes, not to mention the romance one of course. I had already read the first two books in this series so it was great to return to Bunya Junction and discover what all the other Carruthers siblings were up to since I last saw them. Love the rural Australian setting as well and picturing the town and all its characters. Highly recommended!

Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance (Mafia Elite, #5)Ruthless Heir: An Enemies to Lovers Mafia Romance by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I love Mafia romance, this book was no exception for me! I need to invest in the entire series because I need more! This was the first book I have read by this author, but I appreciate her writing. She has this ability to draw you in from the beginning and keep you hanging on, reading well into the wee hours of the morning when you should be sleeping. I love Luc and Summer’s story, the push and pull, the unexpected surprise, and the undeniable heat between them. This should definitely be a must read!

An Alien Storm (Soldiers of Saedo, #4)An Alien Storm by Calla Zae
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

An Alien Storm is the fourth book in the Soldiers of Saedo series by Calla Zae. I have read and enjoyed a few of Calla Zae’s books now, and I’ve noticed that she has a knack for storytelling that encompasses a lot of different tropes- but this is the first sci-fi romance of hers that I have read. As I always seem to find myself doing without realising, I have started this series a little backwards, as this is the fourth book in the series. Even though this book is well into the series, I was still able to read this as a standalone without any real issues. But having said that, I suspect there is an overarching back story that threads through the series, and maybe some recurring characters too- so I will definitely be going back to explore the rest of the series to discover what has happened previously, before continuing on with any new instalments.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Calla Zae!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Changes and ChallengesNotebook Mysteries ~ Changes and Challenges by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been following this series and was excited to pick up this book. Emma is such a progressive character for this era. If I was a little girl in that time period, she would have been a woman to look up to. Not only that, she cares deeply for those she calls her family and wants to protect those who need help.

This book continues her story as her life and career progress. This isn’t just a story revolving around one mystery. Just when you think the mystery is solved and everyone can relax, something else pops up, needing to be solved. I like this style, it keeps the mind constantly intrigued. This isn’t all just about solving mysteries either. Relationships are progressing, and new friendships are made.

Overall, this is a wonderful historical mystery book that I highly recommend. It is better in my opinion to read the previous books first.

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack Book 1) by Nicole Howl – Review by Alexandria Richard

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack, #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A shorter read (few hours). Seemed contemporary but I don’t remember any technology so I could be wrong about that. Paranormal alternate reality where there are shifters, here wolves, who create their own packs. The Alpha of the pack head up the royalty line, and they keep lower level shifters (Omegas) and humans as servants. Lily is a human servant who has had a rough time at the hands of Royal Guards and just making it through in a life where she’s the bottom of the Totem-pole. Jason is the Prince of the pack and is expected to be the next Alpha, but he’s harboring secrets that threaten his status and security.

I really enjoyed learning more about Jason’s character and who he is outside of being the Prince and next Alpha. I thought him and Lily worked well together as a couple and I can’t wait to see them grow together. There’s not much on screen romance here, with book 1 acting like the introduction to the world and characters .

I loved the strength we see from Lily at times, but I wish we got to see her backbone in other moments. I hope she starts to trust in herself more and stops sacrificing herself for others, no matter her good intentions. I loved her relationship with her friend and fellow slave Amara.

Warning, book 1 ends on a cliffy (cliffhanger).

CW: off screen sexual assault, sexual intimidation, slave scenario, domestic violence, abuse against women

This is a new author to me and I have not read the previous books, but figured out each book is dedicated to a sister! In this book, the story is around Vanessa and an alien she meets Arkon. Vanessa has a divorce after a traumatic marriage on Earth. When the soldiers rescue her and her sisters in Saedo, she decides to go to Saedo as there is nothing left on Earth. She meets Arkon, and sparks fly. But Can Vanessa get over her traumatic past and go closer to Arkon? That is the crux of the story. It is a sweet romance and sci-fi fiction. I would like to go back and read the other books.

This was a really good read, and a great addition to this series! It was really interesting to see a dynamic that was outside of the families, and I really enjoyed that. It was enthralling, thrilling and exciting. My one complaint is inconsistency. It wasn’t major inconsistencies, but it was enough to give me pause on small scenes. I think it was more of my OCD that caught it, but it absolutely had nothing to do with the major plot or anything like that. This author as always knocked this one out of the park. It was hard to put down and I absolutely can not wait to read the next installment to this series!

Claiming My Mate (Wolf Hollow Pack, #1)Claiming My Mate by Nicole Howl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nicole Howl’s “Claiming My Mate” is the first in her Wolf Hollow Wolf Pack series. Shifter romances are usually not the first books I turn to, but the cover art grabbed my attention immediately and pulled me in. This is geared more towards a YA romance with shifters, werewolves, fated mates, humans, and plenty of action. I would like to add a trigger warning though, it does deal with some more mature and dark themes such as rape and abuse.
The male MC, Jason is the prince of the Wolf Hollow Royals and set to take over from his horrible father as the Alpha King. Lily, the female MC is a young human servant in the royal kingdom who doesn’t feel like she belongs. Tragic events bring the Jason and Lily together and no matter how hard they try they cannot escape their fate. Along the way they face many battles by both family and enemies.
Once I picked this book up, I couldn’t put it down! Nicole jumped right in with the action, and it was a very fast paced book from beginning to end. The book was shorter than I prefer but completely worth it. I can not wait for the second one to come out to learn the fate of Jason and Lily.

This was a good 4 star read. This is the third book in the Grimm Wolves MC series. We started with the MC clubhouse being decorated for Chrimstmas by the old ladies. I had a few LOL moments with the thoughts of some of the guys. Beast’s family are getting sick from living conditions and he is struggling with telling his MC brothers the truth about the danger they are in. As we move forward, things take a more serious and dangerous turn.

What will happen when the secret comes out? Will the MC be able to help?

Overall this was a read that had suspense, danger, drama and so much more. We get multiple POV’s that add a great element to the story. All of the characters were great, I’m loving the kids too, one stole my heart. The author does a great job with her writing, she pulls you right in. If you’re looking for a great series to read, 1-click and get started today.

This book 2 to the series was short but really packed a.

I loved Clemmy’s strong and spicy character, trying to work hard and she is perfect to give Bullet a run for his money.

This story has some emotional moments that are dark but also spicy sizzling moments as well. Looking forward to book 3!

Iron and Chains are about to brawl to the death for their secrets until they are forced to share with one another. The secrets are deep, and dark and cast a shadow over these two. The brothers finally man up and realize it’s not only about them but their loved ones too. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and they all finally get the help they need to move forward. It’s a heartbreaking then heart-uplifting story of the ugliness in the world and the strength of the human spirit. This story also has a share of comic relief as we get to know some of the other brothers in the Grimm Wolves. I picked up book four first and look forward to going back and reading the other three.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After this third book I’ve read by C. A. King, I am hooked! What a great author! All of the books I’ve read so far, including Shamrock and Clover have been so well written, but very quick reads. The world building and character building in such short reads is top notch. Shamrock and Clover was romantic, witty and humorous, with a little undertone of sadness for lost loved ones. The two main characters, Patrick (nicknamed Shamrock) and Clover, are two very different individuals looking for love in their own ways. The saying “opposites attract” definitely applies here. All of the characters are realistic and relatable, even Clover’s ex who was very manipulative. There are very sweet moments in this book and I cannot wait to read more from C. A. King!

Spring's Showers: Romantically Seasonal: SpringSpring’s Showers: Romantically Seasonal: Spring by C.A. King
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I’m up in the air. Spring’s Showers has me tangled up in knots. I enjoyed the slight humor the author placed here and there. I don’t think the story itself did it for me. It’s up for debate though.
Eros is the laughing stock of the gods. No one has respect for him. A bet is made with 4 of his poker cohorts and this story in particular revolves around Mother Nature. They believe Eros has the easier job, so he bets them if they can each help a couple find true love, then he will take over their job duties for a year. Gods are immortal, so a year’s nothing, right?!? lol
Mother Nature thinks she can just make it happen. Doesn’t matter if there’s a connection. Which is well here she’s wrong. Does she succeed? Or Does Eros come on top? Mind you he’s got 3 more to contend with. Would be a lot of work doing 5 different jobs, at the same time, in one year.
I do enjoy this author, so maybe this was a one off. I’m going to assume this will be a series since there’s 3 more bets to be won. I’m still going to give it a chance. You should too! Just because I’m tangled in knots about how I feel. You may love it!!

Reunion in the Outback (Welcome to Bunya Junction, #4)Reunion in the Outback by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a delightful and emotional read!

Reunion in the Outback is book 4 in the Welcome to Bunya Junction series. I have not read the others in the series, but despite that, I had no problem following the story. I feel like it can easily be read as a standalone.

I love a really good second chance romance, and this one did not disappoint. It actually stood apart from so many others in the genre. The writer gave me something different. This is about a couple, Yolanda and Michael, who have been together for many years and were happily married until a scary medical emergency threw their marriage into turmoil. Neither she nor Michael are sure they can ever find their way back to one another.

Michael and Yolanda were wonderful characters. They were both complex and complicated. Flockton did a great job of continually adding layers to them in each chapter with both Yolanda and Michael each telling me their story. Both of them are also keeping very important secrets from each other, but that was a symptom of their marriage at that point. I so wanted them to find their way back to each other. They loved each other so much, but doubts kept creeping back in, so they would take two steps backward for each step forward. However, I was very pleased with the ending.

Flockton is a new writer for me, and I can’t wait to read more from her, especially the earlier books in the series. It was a gorgeous story about love, loss, separation, reunion, and the importance of family.

I once again suggest reading the whole series even though should you choose to just read this book it will work for you. The Grimm Wolves are big bad bikers for sure and when pushed they will fight back hard but it has to be said that these guys have the biggest hearts! This book reminds you that sometimes times the strongest families are made and not born by blood.

~Dragons, Darkness, Mystery, and Romance~

What a fun ride getting into the next novel in this series. This may be my favorite one yet! Dahlia is continuing to develop not just her own innate talents, but the forces that be around her. Her world is changing, the humans world is changing, as well as other worlds all around her.

Dahlia is such a strong heroine, it’s really exciting to watch her band together with some likely, and some unlikely ties, to do the right thing. She answers to no one, and to everyone. I just love seeing how consistent her core characteristics are, but how capable she is and just how vulnerable she can be when it comes to saving the ones that she loves.

Pick up the fourth book in the Nite Fire series, you won’t regret it.

This is a romance box set that I enjoyed reading. One of the things about boxsets that I enjoy the most is how I can read one book after the other without waiting for it to come out. This is not my first story by this author but it is some of my favorites. This set will take you from the beginning of a relationship to the wedding in this relationship. Melodie and Issac are great characters and have great chemistry. I enjoyed watching their growth in each story as well as throughout the boxset. They are connectable and supportive of every character. This is a well written story that is hard to put down. Each story is unique and takes you on a different part of this relationship. They brought out some emotions in me as well. They will make you laugh and also have some heartfelt times. I really enjoyed reading each book. I highly recommend this box set. It is worth the pick up and you don’t want to miss what happens to this couple.
