Victoriously Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #4)Victoriously Yours by Anise Storm
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ms. Anise Storm is back again with the fourth book in the Titans of Manhattan series. She again had me on the edge of my seat excited in anticipation on what’s about to happen next. I was not able to put the book down long enough to do anything, I had to read the entire book in one sitting. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors.
Jonas Courtland is a hotel developer; he is one of the most notorious Titans. He’s more than content with his playboy reputation, and after watching various friends fall in love, he has no interest or desire to follow in their footsteps. His focus is on just two things:
– Add more properties to his portfolio
– Add more notches to his bedpost
He allowed himself to care about someone once before, and he has no plans to do it again.
Mackenzie Broderick is a preacher’s daughter, she allowed herself to be deceived by her high school’s biggest playboy and has suffered for it since. Years later, she lands an audition for a life-changing opportunity. To further her career in the culinary world, she only has to:
– Beat out her competition for a restaurant contract
– Not fall victim to her ex-boyfriend’s charms
When playing games, there’s always a winner and a loser, and each is intent on triumphing over the other. Neither is prepared for what comes next when old feelings resurface. Before they can even think about a happily ever after, secrets are revealed and the rules of engagement change. Who will emerge the ultimate victor?
I’m excited to read other books from the author in the near future.

Love is Worth Fighting for (The Meraki Series Book 3) by Effie Kammenou – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris

Love is Worth Fighting forLove is Worth Fighting for by Effie Kammenou
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I started this story I had not read the previous 2 books and I was worried it would make it hard to follow along with the storyline of this book, but I thought the author did a great job of touching on information from previous books with just enough information I didn’t feel confused, but not so much information that I felt like it would be pointless to check them out. After reading this story, I fully intend to read the first 2 books to see Krystina’s older sisters’ stories. This was such a great book; I loved reading about Krystina and Loukas’s relationship and the history behind her hurt and his guilt. I loved how the author would give the different characters the POV and we got to go back to the past and see her grandmother’s relationship begin with her now missing grandfather. The author did a great job of describing the panic and uncertainty when the pandemic hit and how families and businesses had to navigate through it. Overall it was a great story that made me laugh and cry. I can’t wait to read the first 2 books and the 4th book by the author.

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

Ms. Storm is back again with the third book in the Titans of Manhattan, and she again did not disappoint. Her style writing is uniquely hers and hers alone. The way she has with her words makes you feel whatever her characters are feeling in the moment. This book is just as amazing as the last 2 books of this series were.
Mason Steele
As one of the city’s most eligible bachelors and owner of the hottest new nightclub in the city, Mason’s fame and fortune were amassed by following two cardinal rules:
Always keep sex casual
Never mix business with pleasure
Following the rules had never been a problem until he hires a new dancer who turns out to be a recent notch on his playboy bedpost. Drawn to her in a way he’d never been to anyone else, will he be able to keep her that way?
Rhyann Ward
After being awarded a ballet scholarship to an exclusive arts school, this Midwestern girl trades one Manhattan for another, moving from Kansas to New York, ready to follow her dreams with two goals in mind:
Maintain her scholarship
Land a spot in a world-wide production
Quickly learning it takes more than passion, Rhyann discovers she also needs money. Convinced by her roommate to pole dance at a local club, she realizes her new boss is none other than the man she’d had a one-night stand with.
Her life begins to unravel when she is pulled into a new and dangerous world. Lust, intrigue, seduction, and temptation have consequences. As the pieces begin to fall apart, his past and her future pull together to create something neither can resist.
I’m excited to see what the next book in the series is like. I look forward the reading more of her books in the near future.

No Pistol Tastes the Same (PTSD Disaster Book 1) by Jacob Paul Patchen Review by- Micalah Weatherholtz

  1. No Pistol Tastes the SameNo Pistol Tastes the Same by Jacob Paul Patchen
    My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The amount of quotes in this book that I would like to share is unmeasurable! They are all so deep.

“We’re all just stalks of grain in the wind, Jp. We go where we go, we bend where we bend, and if it’s our time to break, then we break. But you can’t just let yourself bleed out because you think that you deserve it”.
Is one of those quotes that just made a lot of sense for this book.

But what to say about how it was.. I’m a bit speechless, which doesn’t happen often to me. I would recommend doing yourself a favor and go get this book and read it cover to cover. This is one of the most powerful and absorbing books I’ve read so far this year. It really was incredible. I am really interested in picking up book 2 after reading the excerpt of chapter 1 at the end of this book and I will absolutely be checking into reading the authors other works.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A wonderful story of four young beings who go out on an adventure to save the brother of one of their group. I got hooked into the story fairly quickly and enjoyed the many aspects the author incorporated into the story like mermaids, paranormal beings, and so much more. I’ve always been interested in astrology so it was fitting to begin reading this book. The story kept me interested and I had a hard time putting the book down. I have read a book or two by this author before and this one didn’t disappoint. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Titans od Manhattan series by the author Anise Storm. Conveniently, this is the first book that I have read from this author, and I was not disappointed. The authors style of writing is very unique and interesting. She was able to transport me into her world she was creating and have the power to have her readers feel all of the emotions the characters are experiencing.

Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers Book 2) by Belinda Williams – Review by La Toya Lewis

Spoilsport (Pierce Brothers, #2)Spoilsport by Belinda Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Spoilsport is another fun, light-hearted romance by Belinda Williams. I really enjoyed this enemies-to-lovers type of romance. Chelsea’s best friend Nadia and Tom’s brother Luke are the protagonists in this one. Nadia is tough, confident, and wary of love. Luke is a serious divorced father and falls hard for her. This book is the second book in the Pierce Brothers series but you can probably read it as a stand-alone. Although Nadia can be abrasive, Luke is sweet. They are a fun pair. It is wonderful to watch them attempt to navigate their relationship. This book is a definite must-read.

This was incredible! What a progression from beginning to end! I fell head over heels for the characters and felt like I watched them grow and bloom as individuals! This story was not what I expected at all and that wasn’t a bad thing! The author writes fluidly, keeping you on the edge of thinking you know what’s going to happen and then yanking you to knew heights. Honestly I couldn’t have put it down if I’d have tried! It was enthralling, emotional and everything I didn’t know I needed when I sat down to read it! Get it now!!!

Victoriously Yours (Titans Of Manhattan #4) by Anise Storm

This is not the first book I’ve read by the author. In fact it’s not the first book in the series that I’ve read. Victoriously Yours is the fourth book in the Titans of Manhattan Series. This time we get to see Jonas.

Jonas is a successful businessman now and has an endless amount of women walking in and out of his life. He is looking for a chef and when he runs into the one person he hasn’t forgotten what will happen. The quote I chose for Jonas is: “Good evening. My name’s Jonas Courtland, and I’m with the Courtland Hospitality Group.”

Kenzie has once been fooled by Jonas Courtland once before. She runs into him when she is supposed to meet with a group of chefs applying for the same job. What happens when she sees him? The quote I chose for Kenzie is: “Dear Lord, please tell me that you’ve at least gotten your stuff packed?”

Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

Mr. Nice Guy is the first book in the Pierce Brothers series and it is a cun and cute book. Tom and Chelsea are roommates. He is also her big brother’s friend. Because Chelsea has a habit of dating jerks, Tom decides to show her what it’s like to be with a nice guy so that she knows what to look for. It seems like they get more than they bargained for. I liked Tom and Chelsea’s relationship a lot. I love how they looked out for each other. Tom was lovely and earnest. This was a very romantic and easy read.

This book was gripping from the very first page to the end. The author did an incredible job portraying a journey that no person should go through, but many do. I had so many emotions throughout this story, and I already want to read it again to really absorb everything. A harrowing story about how one man’s dedication rippled outward, tormenting his mind and family. Will his wife, Lisa, be able to love him out of this nightmare or will he suffer at the relentless mercy of his past military service? This is a must read for anyone but especially if you know someone affected by PTSD as it is such an eye-opening experience!

This was an incredibly written book following a young man as he battles his secret illness and the girl that helps him along the way. I grew up with a brother who had epilepsy so this book hit close to home. The author was able to capture the real emotion of Nathan and the fear that encompassed him. All he wanted to be was normal. Each episode he had, his pain could be felt. Combine that with the raw emotion that Holly brings and your heart will go through all sorts of feelings. I found myself smiling, crying, and hoping for everything to work out. I had the hardest time putting this book down. Read it, you will not be disappointed.

Not my first book I’ve read by the author. The author knows how to get kids’ attention and keep them for a short period of time. My daughter absolutely loves these little books I read to her.

Nathan has a secret that he will do anything to hide….including lie and bully others to keep the focus off of himself. But, when Holly finds out, she promises to keep his secret. What starts out as a farce to keep everything under wraps soon evolves into real feelings. However, the popular girl is not a fan of this and his secret is threatened to come out. Will he come clean or continue the lies to keep it hidden?!?

Throughout the story, Holly is compassionate and sees Nathan for who he is despite what he is hiding. It was almost heartbreaking how deeply Nathan wished to keep his secret and just how mean high school kids can be. This book dealt with with real issues in a believable manner and I was here for it!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Lie That Binds was a phenomenal story. I love a good love story.
When I saw that it was a young adult story I knew that it would have some love scenes but nothing like what I read in adult books. Most YA romance books I’ve read don’t have sex scenes in them and the ones that do aren’t very descriptive. Sex might be implied but there usually isn’t too much detail. This story was more mature than I had expected and I am here for it!
The characters were well written. They were your classic teens in school. You’ve got your populars, not so popular, etc.
The struggles that Nathan endures when no one is around was something that I’ve never seen in a book before and the way that Holly comes along and helps him through it was absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed “watching” their relationship grow.
Overall great read that teens and adults can both enjoy.
