If I didn’t already love this series, this installment would have cemented these characters in my heart. The loving touch of a friend and the spirit of a treasured spouse getting Heart through his dark days so that he could be a better father, friend, brother, and partner. Don’t get me wrong, I was super angry at Heart for treating Marc like he did. But my heart broke for him more than once during this book.
I loved hearing the backstory to the club and how things have changed. If I haven’t already said that I LOVE this series, I do. The mixture of steam, justice, family, and friendship is amazing. Sure it is wrapped up in a big, burly, swear-laden biker and MC but that just adds a whole lot of fun and flavor!!!
Another stellar addition to the series.

I am 100% obsessed with the Satan’s Devils. The members of this MC are absolutely the best of the best of the bad boys. They may come across as intimidating and scary but when they find their soulmates they are brought to their knees and will do anything to make their loves happy.
Though one book it could have been two with as different as the halves were.
Beginning is Heart going on his Ronin journey after losing his wife. How gets through the beginning stages of his grief and does some serious soul searching. Definitely not an easy journey.
Then there is the second half which had so much happen and kept me listening even when I had things to get done.
Once again Sierra Kline and Logan McAllister brought to life my favorite MC in an amazing way.
Looking forward to the next book which will have me almost caught up.

Hybrid angel/vampires meet their mate. This was a fantastic story. I loved the paranormal erotic romance twist to the story. To go centuries trying to find your mate and then finding she is a mortal. You have to keep a demon from getting her. The characters are so well-written. This author writes such well-developed stories that you feel right from the beginning that you are in it with them. It’s intriguing and quite enthralling. A story that you can’t miss and once you start it, you can’t put it down. It would get more than 5 stars if I could give it. You must read this one.

Great new take on a vampire novel. I enjoyed how the traditional storyline is referenced, but a new twist is added to include some Greek mythology as side characters. The main character, Greer, is strong and defiant, even when torn out of her comfortable surroundings and sent to live in antebellum New Orleans. Theron is her “dark knight” and is the connection to the Greek storyline and potential love interest. I would love for the pace to slow down a bit and get to know the characters a little better, but this is a great start! The setup for the series is great and I look forward to reading the next one!

Brazeau – Review by Jana Lewis
Good reimagining of the Apollo mythology. I enjoyed the interpretation of the characters. It’s NA so it has pretty much no steam, but you can still feel their connection. The blurb calls it enemies-to-lovers, but I wouldn’t say they are enemies so much as just a bit angsty. Still made for an entertaining read.

She is also determined to escape the iron rule of her father and when she meets Eugene, an older man, she finds the opportunity to do so. When Margaret Rose announces her engagement to Eugene her father is dead set against their marriage because he has already promised her hand in marriage to a neighboring farmer’s son. Margaret Rose refuses to wed the neighbor’s son and instead chooses to elope with Eugene. Margaret Rose’s hopes of a brighter future are soon dashed when she receives news that her husband has died in the war. Pregnant and alone with no money to support herself or her child, Margaret Rose is forced to return home and live with her parents.

Margaret Rose is a young woman who was well ahead of her time and her story of how she overcame insurmountable odds is a true inspiration.

The Curse of a Faeblood is the first book in The Faeblood Series by M.K. Lorber. This is the first book that I have read by this author, so I really didn’t know what to expect going in. But I am such a sucker for anything fantasy- and as this had such an interesting premise and intriguing cover, I immediately one-clicked myself a copy and dove right in. I can honestly say that I am so happy I stumbled on this book (and author). I loved the story and am so excited to continue the series. I am also looking forward to a long love-affair with M.K. Lorber’s books over the coming years/decades. This story is wonderfully woven, starting with the attention to detail and cleverly constructed world in which M.K. Lorber sets her story/series. There is definitely a lot happening in the book, the storyline is filled with lots of depth, layers, textures, and surprising developments- which the author choreographs beautifully. The whole thing flows seamlessly, and the whole way through there is evidence of the author’s imagination, creativity, and other magic touches that she has cast over each and every page- ensuring her readers are well and truly under her spell and completely engrossed. She doesn’t overcomplicate things or overload us with enormous info-dumps, even though there is a lot happening, with so many and varied characters in the cast, and lots of meaty story to sink our teeth into- there was never a moment where I felt like I wasn’t entirely invested in everything that was happening. I was completely immersed and eager to see what lay around the next corner (page). And for me that is the sign of a great author who knows how to craft a fantastic story. If you love a great fantasy with adventure, danger, action, wonderful characters, agendas, politics, love, loss, and so much more- then you won’t want to miss grabbing yourself a copy of ‘The Curse of a Faeblood’ to explore, you’ll be so happy you did. Can’t wait for the next book! Happy Reading!

This Night Has Ended: A dark Supernatural Fantasy (Vampire State book 5) By: Alexander Charalambides Review by: Susan Ratchford 5 Stars
In this last installment of the Vampire State series Rowena continues to go through her transformation. Her body is wracked with pain, betraying her at every turn, and her humanity is teetering on an edge, all the while the empire is ripe with discontent and malice. Rowena’s fate and the fate of all of Sanguinia’s human population rests on one crucial election, it is Rowena’s final test. This was a beautifully written end of the series and I can not wait to binge read the rest of the books! Alexander Charalambides brings a wonderfully creative new take on the Paranormal/Vampire story with a unique portrayal of vampires and their politics. It was engaging and powerful with dynamic characters like Rowena and Vincenzo who you can’t help but like. This book had me reading as fast as I could just to find out what would happen to them. The detail he put into this series gives it a sense of realism that anyone at any age can enjoy. This series has everything you could ever want with vampires, action, danger, and politics. Definitely worth it!!!

Brilliant box set This is a wonderful compilation of 5 books based in the quaint town of Cold Creek.
Book 1 Run to the Sea A heartfelt love story of two souls searching and finding their happily ever after. Thomas needs to discover what is important and Emmy needs to face feelings from the past. I adore Thomas and Emmy. The author skilfully delivers a captivating second chance romance.
Book 2 Stars Fall from the Sky Love, loss and finding happiness again. This book had it all. My heart broke and soared as Ginger navigated all life threw at her. Jonathan also had to work through his grief. The author once again brings out all the feels.
Book 3 A Sun so bright Different worlds collide A billionaire Princess hires a bartender to be her fake boyfriend. Discovery, desire and destiny. Cold Creek didn’t shine through as much in this instalment in the series but the journey that Fiona and Chris went on was enthralling nonetheless.
Book 4 I’ll see you again Nicky’s story comes to light when a rockstar meets a wedding planner. This was a highly emotional read and really pulls at the heartstrings. Such a roller coaster of a journey. Opposites do attract but not without some road blocks along the way. A wonderful instalment to the series.
Book 5 A Cold Creek Christmas Sweet small town romance This was a beautifully written romance based in Cold Creek. Amber struggles with Christmas and Gio loves the season. The author delivers a wonderfully heartfelt story and as always makes the reader feel as though they are within the pages. I could feel the atmosphere of the town and magic of Christmas. Highly recommend.

This is Gage’s story! He has been a player in the last couple books. Now he is trying to change his life after he comes to the realization that relationships are not for him. He uses the cage fights to release his excess energy and thats where he meets Ten. Helping Ten and Juliet put him on a path to realizing he wants more out of life. I loved watching all of his indecision. He always seems so sure of himself and what he wants.
I struggled with this one a bit from time to time. I wasn’t sure people would act the way Ten and Juliet right off the bat. They just seemed forward to me.
Overall I loved the suspenseful story. It was nice to see the characters from the previous books. Those boys and their advice to Gage. Simply wonderful!

This is a great children’s story. It is about Caspain’s and his hat that allows him to hear things his mom and grandpa are saying. This is not just any hat but a mind reading hat and Caspian has to be wearing it. This is an engaging story that pulls you into the story. It is great for any child. It has great illustrations that make the read interact with the story. I enjoyed Caspian and his magical hat. I highly recommend reading this book to your children and find out what happens to Caspain and his hat.

Lorraine Haas brings us a small town 1940s America historical women’s fiction story about Margaret Rose controlled by her father in every aspect of life from what she will wear to who she shall marry. Margaret wants to break free from her father’s house which she sees as the cage holding her in. Margaret makes a plan to escape from the life holding her back and to finally live out her dreams. Margaret is courageous and tenacious although sometimes naive and she did make choices I did not understand or approve of. This was a well written story of survival for those left in the USA during World War II and what they did to survive.
Very cool retelling of an ancient story. I love picturing stories in a new way, it helps me imagine more of what could have been. I also love the enemies to lovers not being what you would normally expect.
Overall I think this is a very interesting read. Between romance, struggling with authority, and action packed storytelling this classic is a must read. Not my typical choice, but it’s so fun to pick up something new and be pleasantly surprised.

Reigning Hearts is a collection of 5 short stories/novellas, all of these are standalone and can be read in order or separately. I couldn’t help but devour this entire series in one sitting and get invested in each page, character, and storyline. I was so sad when I finished the last page and I will definitely be exploring the author’s other books. The world-building and character development were well executed in such a short period of time.
(1) Run to the Sea – A Friends to Lovers Beach Romance This was a great story to start off the series and who doesn’t love a second chance romance, full of all of the warm, happy, cosy feels. I really felt like I was following a true love story and I couldn’t help but get invested and root for them from the start.
(2) Stars Fall From the Sky – A Small Town Second Chance Romance I needed the tissues for this one, this story tore my heart to shreds. The exploration of was powerful and so raw.
(3) A Sun So Bright – A Billionaire Heiress Enemies to Lovers Romance Who doesn’t love a fake boyfriend trope?! When two unlikely people meet what will happen when the sparks fly? This was a great read and I did really enjoy it, I did really struggle with Fiona at the beginning and spent most of my time wanting to slap her. The storyline and writing were what saved this.
(4) I’ll See You Again – A Scottish Rock Star Opposites Attract Romance This was the cutest story ever! I loved the characters of the wedding planner and wedding singer and it made my heart so happy. I rooted for this romance so much I was disappointed when the story ended.
(5) A Cold Creek Christmas – A Single Dad Small Town Holiday Novella MY FAVOURITE TROUPE! There is something so much more attractive about the single dad. I read this in May and was transported to cozy December nights and the heartwarming season of Christmas. I really appreciated the grinch and Christmas cheer aspect of the relationship. I fell in love with Gio and would happily throw myself at him.

This is the 6th book in a series, and it is just as cute and good as the other ones! Each one of the stories revolves around a child named Caspian and, in this book, he receives a mind reading hat. This is the perfect book that you can read with children. It is family and child friendly and was such a joy to read. If you are looking for your next fun book that your child will love, then look no further because this one will be one that not only your child loves, but you will love it as well.

This one of the most original, intense, and intriguing, paranormal romance stories that I’ve read so far this year. It turns out that nothing is as it seems. Avery is attacked by what is thought to be a serial killer but turns out to be something else (read it and find out, you know you want to). Twists and turn, suspense at every corner had me holding my breath. I loved every minute of this story. The characters all had that are of mystery about them. There was just something off. I felt like everyone was suspicious. The plot flowed well even with all the twists and turns. The tone was like watching a great psycho thriller from the 80’s (my generation). I’d give it more than 10 stars if I could. It’s that could and you should hit that one-click button. Book two of series.

Wow The Scent of Gardenias is a wonderfully written story that is packed with heart warming and heart wrenching moments that had my emotions all over the place. I’m a huge fan of Historical Romance/Fiction and this one checked all the boxes. I was expecting to be pulled into the story as much as I was. I found myself reading way into the early morning hours because I had to know what was going to happen. This is a fairly new author to me and she’s got a new fan. Her attention to detail simply blew me away. Everything she was describing was so vivid and I felt like I was right there with her. This is a story about Margaret and her journey through her struggles with her family life, love ,betrayal and so much more. I recommend having a tissue near by there are moments I shed a few tears and my heart hurt for her. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next . I look forward to reading more from this Author.

Oh my gosh. This book has had made feel all the feels! All of Elois’s frustrations and heartbreak were mine, and every glimmer of hope she felt, I felt as well. I wanted to take her and wrap her in a warm blanket and never giver her away. Sébastien was literally meant for her! He brought her joy and kept all of her secrets. He goes on this adventure just for her. Seeing them grow together only made me root for them more! The writing was well done and I was pulled in from the start. I devoured this book in a day and still wanted more! I will definitely be adding this author to my reading list!!!
This is the fifth and final book in this series and I’m sad it has to come to an end. I found this story to be original which made it that much more exciting to read. This story is full of danger, vampires, twists and turns, politics, and great characters. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down, I kept turning the pages needing to know what was going to happen next. This book took me on an unexpected journey. The author did an exceptional job writing a great series and keeping me on the edge of my seat. Rowena has been through so much but she stays strong throughout. I can’t wait to read what the author gives us next. I recommend this book.

I loved taking the next step in Cat’s story with her! Cat talks her parents into a trip to see relatives so she can try to discover why her baking works the way it does. With the help of her cousin Robyn, Cat goes on a difficult journey of lesson learning and discovery. With help from their GG, they go on the hunt for all their answers. Little did they know, they may just help their family as much as their family helps them.
This story was so fun to read with my daughter. We enjoyed it just as much as we did the first book. There is so much detail in the story that you can picture it as you read. My daughter is ten, almost eleven and she could not get enough of this. It is relatable to younger and older readers alike. Cat’s curiosity and outgoing personality create a very engaging and fun character. We can’t wait to see where Cat’s journey takes her next!

Oh my goodness!! This is was a page turner!! I could not put this book down! Margaret Rose, which is the main character…had lived through so much heartbreak and adversity, and still refuses to give into life’s hardships. She had a rough start in life, and continues to face many different difficulties. Through it all Margaret Rose refuses to let life bring her down, she’s determined to find a way to make her mark in this world, one way or another. I could go on and on, but I don’t want to ruin the book. Lorraine Haas outdid herself with this book. To say I enjoyed this book is an understatement, I found myself lost in this book. The Scent of Gardenias is hands down one of my new favorite books. Mary Espinoza- May 2022

This was such a cute and fun read!! Toby is a good dog who is led astray by the cat next door. He would not have gotten lost if the cat had not led him away from his house. He would not have stolen a whole ham and hid it under a pillow if the cat had not eaten his lunch. In the end, Toby learns his lesson…or does he???

This beautifully written book is a treasure and I hope all fantasy fans get the chance to read it. The gorgeous cover had me hooked with the deep colors with a pop of brilliant gold in the center. This magical story starts with following Anna, a young woman who realizes she is in danger once her special abilities come to light and impacts her teaching position. Fate helped her escape the states and travel to Ireland for safety. She meets others like her with strange magical powers, all while trying to learn more about her own power, how to protect herself and others, as well as trying to make a decision about volunteering for a future position within the Phae organization.
Anna finds herself partially covered in scales with skin that screams for the water. She also has a spectacular affinity for somewhat controlling water. However, due to fear and discrimination of those who are not of Unhidden Blood.
The story also introduces other incredible characters such as Max, a military vet with a love of flying and the habit of drinking. He wasn’t thrilled about coming to Ireland, but fellow newbie Phae recruiter, Hiroki, successfully recruited him by making several promises, one of which was access to a new plane. Max is a grumpy old man, he has an impressive background and is a great pilot. He also has the magical ability to speak to the wind, which he is struggling with at the beginning of this book.
The Byrne family’s farm is one of the many training locations for the Phae and they welcome the new folks who have uncovered their Unhidden Blood talents. The family’s personalities are incredible, including the wonderful children. I truly enjoyed the way the author incorporated the different folks into the training location along with the Byrne family. With a large group of folks in one single location for any amount of time could prove to be interesting in any setting, let alone one where the Phae are often on alert for any type of attack from those who misunderstand and refuse to accept those with Unhidden Blood.
I cannot wait to see what the next book will have in store for the characters/story/plot.

Another cute read in this series. This story seemed a bit quicker than the previous one, but it is still entertaining. It is an easy-to-read book, and the story is easy to follow as well. Once again on his unbirthday Caspian goes on an adventure. This time he is given two gifts and uses them to unravel another mystery. While this new adventure for Caspian was fun it did not seem to pull the reader in to the story as much and was quickly over, but young readers will enjoy this fun story that has Caspian thinking and learning as he enjoys his newest adventure.
This was definitely not at all what I expected this book to be about just from the title. I was blown away by all the details and thought out plot that the author put into this book.
I love Greer as the main female character, a fierce protector of those who are important to her, kind to a fault, and stronger than people give her credit for. After being uprooted from her life in Paris and placed among the casket girls set to be married to a complete stranger. Greer makes friends with other casket girls and after feeling as though the dark dreams weren’t really dreams she starts realizing that her friends and herself are nothing more than food from a darkness no one can fathom. Theron who has claimed Greer as his own realizes his own feelings have not only put him in danger but Greer as well. Now facing Hades’ wrath , Greer realizes she wants to save Theron but what can she offer to Hades, the god of the underworld? Why is it Theron can’t seem to let go of Greer?
I absolutely loved the mixing of Greek mythology with paranormal beings and how the author flawlessly incorporated them into one delicious story. I could not stop reading this book and now am off to get the second just so I can see what else happens! I am hooked and if you like paranormal romances with action and intrigue I think you will be too. This is definitely a must read!
