The True Purpose of Vines (The Winemakers Book 1) by Giovanna Siniscalchi – Review by Lyndsay withey

The True Purpose of VinesThe True Purpose of Vines by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Historical fiction is probably my absolute favorite genre outside of clean romance books and this book completely merged the two into an amazing story. The author does an amazing job at not just the basic facts of the time period but really digging into the motives behind why people did certain things during that time period.

It was wonderful to read just how fierce Julia was in the way she protected her home and her sons legacy in a time when women were not accepted in the “man’s” world. The passion she has is evident from the very first time we meet her.

Griffin was thrown into adult responsibility way too fast and he is determined to make sure his mother and sister are taken care of, even if that means he isn’t being true to himself. He has a strong sense of honor and duty especially when it comes to doing the right thing for his family but to see his outer shell crack and his true self emerge is a wonderful transition.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the series as well as the first book that I have read by this author, and I was not disappointed. I have not read a book like this one before and was in new territory as I was not expecting certain aspects that happened in the book. The storyline was one that had me on the edge of the bed as I was reading. There were lots of steamy scenes between the main characters that were expertly written. I cannot wait to read the next books in the series!

This author knows how to capture my attention and keep me completely hooked from start to finish. I’ve gotten to where I don’t even have to know what the book is about before reading it I just know the author is bringing a story I won’t forget. The characters in this book instantly made me jump into their world, they all played well off each other and I had the hardest time when the end was near but I simply couldn’t put it down. It’s well written storyline with characters you won’t soon forget. It’s definitely worth a one click in my opinion. Five big stars and highly recommended.

Ostracized from society, they are trained & honed to be useful for their own cause. Can Anna keep pace when all she is trained to do is swim? Can she master these powers inside her in time?

This Night Has Ended (Vampire State Book 5) by Alexander Charalambides – Review by Erin Wolf

This Night Has EndedThis Night Has Ended by Alexander Charalambides
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story picks up and runs full throttle. There is so much going on. The characters have been constantly evolving and they are just trying to do what is right for everyone. At its base, this is a story about social injustice set in a dystopian setting. Really, you have two different things going on at the same time — trying to survive in what this world has become, and trying to get everyone to live together peacefully, while getting the word out as to what is really happening. Then there is the evolution of Rowena herself. There is so much build up as to what will happen on all of these accounts. There are many surprises along the way, too. I never saw what was coming next and could not put the book down.

The previous books should be read first since there really is no back story given to lead us into the current book. But the story is quite interesting and the characters are unique and complex. You should try this series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Definitely not what I was expecting but really good nonetheless! This is my first read by this author and I am definitely a huge fan. She is really great at conveying how the characters are feeling throughout the story, so much so I felt like I was right there along with them living their experiences.

As someone with medical issues that may prevent any future pregnancies of mine, I very much related with Elodie in her struggles that pushed her into looking for alternatives, making her pursue the services of the ‘Wish-Eater’ that has mysteriously shown up in her village. As the book continued, I was sucked in further and further, wondering if her desire to have children would come to be as the book made many twists and turns.

Overall, I really enjoyed the book. I loved the fantasy aspect of it and how the author managed to modernize it in a way they people would be able to relate to. Will definitely be reading more by them in the future!

I have to say that I have read all this series so far and boy I am hooked. I love how the author brings the characters to life and I love how the books flow one after the other. This whole series is one of my favorites so far.

I like how the story is balanced with just enough drama. I love how the characters have depth. My favorite part was the ending. I really like how there was just the slightest underlying romance and that was an added bonus. I hope in future to read more from this author.

The Fighter (An Underground Bad Boys Romance, #3)The Fighter by India Kells
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 3rd book in the series by India Kells. While it works just fine as a standalone, you can tell that there is more backstory between Gage and his friends. That doesn’t mean you can’t read this book by itself; however, if you want all the backstory, I would recommend that you read the first two books in the series.
Gage is your typical bad boy with a tragic backstory who has the heart of an angel. Juliet and Ten are two down on their luck roommates who turn to the seedy underground of cage fighting to try and get by. Gage steps in to help Ten and all three end up in a bad situation, making enemies of a powerful boss in the fighting world. Gage offers to help Juliet and Ten by providing them a place to live and training Ten for the upcoming fight.
As you can imagine, things get *spicy*. This is a MMF story and the sexy scenes are steamy. I love how the author incorporates each characters’ feelings into the scenes and the readers really get to see what the characters are thinking and their inner turmoil. I like Kells descriptive writing; however, I felt that some of the plot was forced, or at the very least, not fully developed. This could also be because I haven’t read the first two books. Overall, I really enjoyed my first book by India Kells.

Well…. This book is completely different from what I thought! My first book by Laura Graf and it was not a disappointment. If this is where the future is headed, sign me up! Cyborgs, and humans working together could be a nice advantage! Being in the car world myself, it becomes useful!

It’s very interesting to see what Gena’s experience is like. Snapper is defiantly the one to show her a thing or two. The way they fight and argue…. Is there an ulterior motive? Why is Gena on Mars? Will she meet her maker? Will she experience life as a full human?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

At the start, I really enjoyed the story. It was mysterious, steamy and complex. The spice catches you off guard at times, and these characters are BOLD! I didn’t want to put it down! As the story progressed, the plot intensified, and stakes were raised. Once the plot ramps up, the resolution happens so fast. The story that initially had me refusing to set the book down was resolved too quickly, leaving me slightly disappointed and wanting more. I would have liked to have more time exploring the tension in the romance, and the interactions between the characters to really feel intimately connected to their struggles and drama. The epilogue also was tied up with a pretty bow. It was a great story, if too short. This is the first I read in this series, but it was easy to keep up with, which leaves me to think that it could be read as a stand alone. There is definitely some background information in the other books as far as some of the side characters and their history with the main character. I will definitely be looking up the previous books to see what that history is about. If you are looking for something steamy, action packed, and high stakes, give this one a try.

The bonds between grandparents are super special and Caspian is no exception! It’s his un-birthday and he gets not one, but two, special gifts!! The first is a hat that once belonged to his grandpa. The other is a very uniquely shaped stone. Caspian learns really quickly that when he’s wearing the hat, he can hear the thoughts of others in their own voices! The rock gives him great ideas and helps him to solve problems.

What I wouldn’t give for a hat like Caspian’s! That would make life interesting for sure!

This is a super cute book and I wish I had a little one to read it with. This book would be enjoyable for those early readers. The illustrations are very bright and vibrant. The story is one that children would be able to easily enjoy.

Thorfin and the witches curse. At the begining of the book it gives you a map that you can refer back to. As you will need it as you read the book. It also gives you a character table at the very end of the book which is helpful so you know who is who and what relationships they have and the ties they have to each land in the book. This tale is set in the 800’s Viking era. It makes you feel like you are right there with these characters. It has action, suspense, mystery, and magic all tangled into each other. This story is so gripping you’ll never want to put it down. Thorfin is our main character, along with Karl and you follow them through this amazing journey.

Juliet and Ten are interested in each other but being best friends they fear it could ruin their friendship. On the sideline, Ten needs money fast. When he discovers the underground fighting cages. When Gage finds Ten is over his head in the fighting, he comes to the rescue. Things at this point start changing and the story takes off. That is all I can tell you.

I enjoyed how they pulled me into the story from the start. They made the story engaging and I read their story in one sitting. They are supportive of each other and took me on a paranormal adventure that had me coming back for more. I really enjoyed this story and the realistic feel it has.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read Witch Switch by Louisa Bacio in this anthology.
This book was intriguing. Love, mystery, revenge…toss in hidden powers, unknown siblings and losing yourself and having to refind yourself, you have the makings of a good tale. This is a novella but the author didn’t quite leave us hanging. It is the start of a series. HOORAY! I can’t wait to read more. This was like a bad fairytale that you can root for good to win. Rafe, Cheyenne, and Jupiter can kick butt with the best of them. I loved the fact that Cheyenne and Jupiter are strong and can basically do things on their own (together-sister power), there’s another sister later in the story. The characters have strong personalities. Meredith may have evil powers yet she’s pretty much a spoiled brat not getting her way. The plot had a really good flow. The story wasn’t choppy. My favorite part was the scene in the forest. The whole tone of the story kept you on the edge of your seat. It’s a very romantic tale with some spice scattered throughout so there’s a little of everything for everyone (if you love romance). I think you need to buy this book and check it out. It’s a new favorite for me.

This is a Viking tale that will have you following along wanting to know what happens on the next page. You follow along the travels of Thorfinns family as they irritate a witch who places a curse on the family. Thorfinn may be the only one who can break it. The action is there. It is a little wordy but that is because it’s based on Viking times and land area. I found it fascinating to follow. The people and the land sound so amazing, intriguing and mysterious. I follow everything Viking, whether on TV or book, and this is one of my new favorites.

The Traitor (An Underground Bad Boys Romance Book 2) by India Kells is another fast paced steamy erotic MMF book that has an interesting storyline with a ton of sexual tension and two enticing alpha males. You can just feel the heartache, pain, danger, drama, suspense, and pleasure as these characters try to deal with their broken blemished past.

Spencer Knox and Josie Baird are intriguing characters that have had to deal with a lot in life.

He’s not looking for romance after all he always says that he is able to give away his body but not his heart. However when he sees the stubborn, spirited, self-sufficient, and beautiful Josie he’s drawn to her. Spencer still tries to keep his distance though because he doesn’t want to mix anyone up with his dark past. His past however comes looking for him in the form of his friend, Gage who comes to town and almost immediately starts a flirtation with Josie. Wanting to protect her, Spencer joins them in a ménage à trois that definitely raises the heat. The more time they spend together Josie sees more hints of the man he used to be, which just peaks her interest that much more. Will Spencer have the courage to face his dark past or will he run away again pushing Josie away in the process, and will Gage always be the odd man out? Read this book to find out.

The Debt Collector (An Underground Bad Boys Romance) by India Kells is a fast paced steamy erotic MMF book that has an interesting storyline with a ton of sexual tension and two enticing alpha males. I really liked the strong heroine who showed that you can have a kind heart and be tough as well. The writing style and plot both flowed nicely.

Being a good, kind hearted person is never easy, but it’s especially difficult if you’re an emergency room doctor that sees the tragic lives of teens forced into slave rings. Dr. Tessa Freeman is a bit of a workaholic that doesn’t take time for love, vacations, or anything other than caring for and helping her patients, so when she feels electricity with the mysterious man that walks into her ER she’s more than a little surprised. Unfortunately she misses her opportunity to find out more about him as she swoops in to save another young girl from the underground slave trade. Tessa knows that her saving people harbors risks, but those are ones she’s willing to take to help save these poor slaves. When Tessa is kidnapped, held, and beaten for helping one such girl escape, imagine her surprise when the mysterious man from ER shows up to rescue her. Will Locke (the mysterious man) turn out to be just what she needs, or will he and his best friend, Gage just be a temporary yet steamy way to save herself and get back to her normal workaholic life. It will take overcoming secrets and a sordid past if there is ever to be a future, but hey in the meantime two men and a Dr. can sure have some HOT times!
