Ballet School RumoursBallet School Rumours by Eleanor Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ballet School Rumours is a fun paranormal fantasy tale and the third book in the series. It is aimed at young readers and early teens 8 – 13-year-olds. Eleanors passion comes from her own experiences with ballet and shines through in her words. Lauren, Grace and Rodney are back at Amberwood and on their next mysterious adventure. It is an engaging story with heart-warming characters.

It is a sweet tale of ghosts and friendships. A gossip column, sinister whispers and a ghost hunt could quickly derail it all. It could turn friends into enemies and broken dreams.

If you love ballet and ghostly adventures you will enjoy this.

The adventure continues with Twilight’s Spy which is a unique YA fantasy story. It is book 1.5 in the Twilight Realm Trilogy. It is a quick read but there is lots going on.

What a sweet, light-hearted romance this book is. I really enjoyed the fact that we get 3 stories for the price of one here and I loved each of the couples respectively. The book was fun and just a true romance right from page 1.
The author has really done well when writing this book. It is engaging, it is fun and it is everything you could want in a romance book. It was so easy to read and I found myself unable to put it down for long periods of time. This is a thoroughly enjoyable story that I think most would find a great read.

Have you seen this cover !?!? Oh my goodness I can just get lost in it 🥰🔥

Sydney is a bit of an outsider to start off with she’s your average girl who’s bright and earned herself a scholarship while the others are from affluent families and have all the bells and whistles that gone with that life style but I must say I feel her when she says escapes reality between the trees and wilderness ❣️ she really is a nice girl and I think it’s not always easy being around her pampered crowd …..especially when they head out to “ The Lodge “ for spring break ….

Kage , you both frighten me and make me want to be a cougar , I know I’m twisted but hello so you !!!!

Truth or dare has nothing on Truth or Kill what an epically twisted read it was !!! Kage and Sydney are the perfect match like Beauty and the Beast but with no library 😉😜

Castor's Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars # 2)Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a good Sci-fi romance story. You meet Mia who literally fights everyday for her life. She has a hope that one day she can be free. Free of her bonds and free from the fighting. In walks Castor. He turns her world upside down. She is not trusting of this man who makes her feel all of these different feelings and supposedly has come to save her. Does she trust him? Absolutely not, but what he promises is so tempting she can almost taste it. The story was written very well and I enjoyed every minute of it. I’m excited to see what else this author has to bring to the Sci-Fi romance genre.

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

Victoriously Yours is book number 4 in Anise Storm’s Titans of Manhattan series.
Jonas Courtland not only a Titan of Manhattan but a playboy though and though.
Mackenzie Broderick preacher’s daughter and up and coming chef trying to make a name for herself in the big city.
I have read the first three of Titans of Manhattan and jumped straight in to this one just like the rest. Jonas is a real pig and at first, I was struggling to see how I could ever forgive him for all the things he had done to sweet Kenzie. By the end I was 100% team Jonas. It was a good reminder that we never really know someone’s past or what made them they way they are. Everyone has a story and Jonas’s is not what it seems.

Castor's Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars # 2)Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

4 Stars

 

Castor’s Kiss is the second book in the Soul Bonded In the Stars series by Tai James. I love a good sci-fi romance, so when this popped up on my book notifications, I didn’t hesitate, immediately one-clicking a copy and jumping right in.
Tai James is a new-to-me author, so I was excited to see what she could do. This is a great fated mates sci-fi romance, with a bit of a slower burn- some action, adventure, chemistry, danger, intrigue, and battle for survival.
Mia had been kidnapped, tortured, and then tossed into the arena where she has to fight to the death. Her wins, tenacity, and determination to survive soon sees her become a crowd favourite- but Mia worries that with each battle she loses more of her humanity.
Castor is an Atlantean on a mission to rescue Mia. But things don’t quite go according to plan, and they’ll need to team up and fight the odds together in order to survive. What does fate have in store for them? Will they find a future together? I’m not going to ruin the story by giving too much away- but encourage you to read all the intriguing developments for yourself.
The story is well woven and kept me avidly reading the whole way through. The characters are well-developed with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws. I will definitely be devouring the rest of this series- can’t wait!
Happy reading!

Thank you, Tai James!

The Lie That BindsThe Lie That Binds by Amy Argent
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

~~~~~Mature YA/NA Romance~~~~~

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Lovable characters, although hard to relate as it is based in high school. I felt frustration at times forgetting they are teenagers dealing with their classic teenage dilemmas and high school woes (cliques, trying to fit in, struggling to find their way). With that being said, this is a great story of growth and honesty at an age where you push limits and test boundaries.

I enjoy reading novels by this author, their writing continues to be vivid and engaging pulling you in until the very last page.

This was a great 5 star read. Holly is a new student and she of course quickly learns who is in the cliques. When she meets Nathan, there is something about him that pulls her in, but he’s one of the popular guys. Nathan has a big secret that Holly eventually learns unexpectedly but she agrees to keep it to herself. A plan is put in place that ends up turning into a bigger thing than they expected.

Also the action in this book is 😗👌 (Chef kiss). I will definitely telling people to read this series🥰

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this novella. It is part of the Heels, Rhymes, and Nursery Crimes series, but I had not read any of the other books. I actually did not realize it was part of a series until I had gotten it on my Kindle. I was drawn to the book because of the gorgeous cover and it did not disappoint. This quick, fun read puts a twist on a commonly known villain, the Queen of Hearts. She is truly a hero in disguise as she works to avenge the women of the city and retaliate against the men that harm them. A strong female lead character, a mysterious man, a brave goal, and a sinister villain are elements that help make this a great read.

This was a really good read! I was a little confused at some of the sports jargon, but that was minor. It didn’t affect the story any. I had some trouble with all the characters, I feel like if I had read the other books in this series it would have helped but again, it had no affect on the story and didn’t really matter much. I do wish I had some of the background though. This was a very romantic, sweet and sometimes funny sports romance. This is the first book I’ve read from this author before and I wasn’t disappointed. This was an easy read which also made it go by quickly. I would definitely read more from this author in the future!

I have to say this is this the first time reading this author. I wish I had the first installment of this series, with that said I still jumped into this book and really enjoyed it. This author created a world that was understandable without reading the first book. It was easy to fall in love with these characters. Mia is a well-developed character, and one of the best female main characters I’ve read. Castor being put in Mia’s world adds to the twists and turns in this book. I will be going back and reading the first book as well as other books to come from this author.

Wow! Just wow! I wish there was more! This book had a cutesy love story, while still focusing on real life issues. I enjoyed that this story was about two people who go through life and have to learn to make the most of it. This book did not follow the typical stigmatism in my option (which I loved). Both main characters are people who are working on themselves and it’s never truly one sided. A big breath of fresh air! Also there was one line in this book that really spoke to me as well for my own personal life – “The only thing
you can change is your mind-set. Can’t
change the universe and how it is constantly
trying to f-y0u. But you can change how
you view it, how you allow it to make you
feel. You are in control of your mind-set.” . I think I got goosebumps the first time reading it that I read it over two more times. I truly enjoyed this book, and I love that line. I know what my new mantra will be when I’m similar situations.

I was completely drawn into this book as soon as I started reading and I couldn’t put it down. Sera is a brilliant chemist, beautiful, and an assassin. Sera’s biggest weakness is her abusive father. Sera will do anything for her father to try to make up for the sacrifices she feels he made for her. Cassius is Sera’s new mark but it’s not as cut and dry as she originally thought. Cassius is smart, attractive, rich, and an all around good guy. There is a lot of chemistry between these two and their banter is so fun to read. There is action, deceit, great characters and so much more in this story. I highly recommend this book.

I am typing this with goosebumps and happy tears in my eyes. This novel could be the reason my emotions are on high alert lately, that’s for sure. You better believe I have added the rest of the Bellevue Bullies series to my TBR list for the summer. It pulled at my heartstrings when it came to a few different topics, especially the support it shows for those that have a mental health and developmental difficulties. This author is incredibly talented, and I am not surprised that she is highly recommended in the literary world.

I fell head over heels for Evan, and for Callie, both in different ways. The issues that Evan deals with aren’t unheard of, but more than that, it’s so important for people that suffer to find their support system and believe in themselves, and eventually, to be able to love themselves without doubt. I love how his story was told, and how beautifully Callie was able to support his progress throughout, while her story and his support were given to make sure that they both became the best version of themselves they could be. Beautiful character building, heart-string pulling, and I literally couldn’t stop reading it. (Could also why my emotions may be on high alert.) Highly recommend and look forward to more by her!

Castor's Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars # 2)Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It has been a long time since I’ve read anything space bound, and it definitely felt like it was a nice change of pace, while still including the necessary romance I crave, the suspense, and the action that will keep readers turning the pages through this whirlwind adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed the way that the characters are depicted, described and allowed the reader (me) to be able to see what Mia and Castor saw, while remaining connected to the overall story line.

Mia’s past traumas have made it extremely difficult to put trust in many, and to allow for her walls to come down and let people in. I found that to be very easy to relate to, and the strength that her character has, and embraces is incredible. It made it very enjoyable to follow her journey to find her people, and to connect with those around her again, while protecting all she needed to protect. Not to mention the patience and efforts that Castor put into protecting, fighting alongside, and ultimately encouraging Mia to live her life again. I found it to be a very well written story, and I will be going back to read the first installment in this series soon!

This is the first book that I have read from the author, and I was not disappointed. The author’s writing had a way that drew me from the very first page of the book to the very last word on the last page. I’ve never been much of a sci-fi romance reader, but this book quickly changed my perspective. I loved reading Mia and Castor’s story. They are an amazing couple are soulmates that make everyone feel jealous.
Kidnapped. Tortured. Left for dead.
The fact that Mia Grey has survived is nothing short of a miracle. Now, every day of her life is a battle. Thrown into the arena daily, she fights to the death against others imprisoned as she is.
She’s become a crowd favorite.
A darling to the masses.
Still, she dreams of escape.
The opportunity presents itself when the tall, dark, and mysterious Atlantean, Castor, comes striding into her life. He claims to be sent to save her, but Mia has endured too much to blindly trust him. Her doubt works against them and ensnares the two in the ultimate challenge.
Out of options, the pair must form an alliance if they hope to survive. Amid the battle for their lives, they find the bond of fated mates growing between them.
I look forward to reading more book from this author in the coming future.

Alyssa Chalmers is an incredible main character! I found myself taking my time as the scene was built up in the book, and then it took off quickly! The determination and do good mentality of Alyssa kept my pages turning. I was thinking the book was going a totally different direction with how secretive Alyssa was at the start, but then the rest of the story proved otherwise! I love to read a story based on a historical time, and the author sets the scenes very well in this book. I found myself so excited with every chapter to see what Alyssa would cleverly do to save her friend from persecution. I realized after I started to review this book that i did not read book one and I’m looking forward to finding more about Alyssa and all the future brides! One thing I really enjoyed is this story is an original and kept my attention.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mia is a slave, kidnapped, tortured, and left for dead only to be found and sold into what is basically gladiator fights. She is a strong woman, who continues to fight while waiting for a chance to escape. Castor’s best friend, Phoenix, found his fated mate in book 1 of this series, and Mia is her best friend. Castor is searching for Mia, and finds her where she is fighting.

I loved Mia’s character. She is strong determined, and didn’t give up. I like that she didn’t immediately trust Castor – she has been through a lot and for her to automatically trust someone would be out of character. Castor fought his attraction, but when he decided he was in, that was it, not turning back. The two went though crazy times to escape and get back to their friends, and it was an interesting and exciting story.

The is the second book in the Casket Girls series and it is also the second book that I have read from the author. I honestly loved this book. I was not able to put the book down until I had finished it from the beginning to end. Blood & Vengeance is a dark, paranormal romance that takes place in 1728 New Orleans
Desiree knows one thing – the vampires must die.
After being freed from the nightmare of being a casket girl, Desiree is ready to take on the remaining nest of vampires still feeding on the citizens of New Orleans. She and Theron, lonely with his love in the Underworld, partner together to root out, and slay, the last of the bloodsuckers.
Jaxon, a vampire ready for a new life, joins Theron and Desiree as they finish off the vampires. His only request – for Theron to teach him how to survive without killing. As Jaxon falls for Desiree, he must also fight off his past, a formidable witch called the Mistress who wants Jaxon back at all costs.
I’m excited to see how to author continues this series and to read more of the books in the near future.

Castor's Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars # 2)Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An interesting new take on a Science Fiction Romance. I’ve read quite a few Sci-Fi Romance novels, but this is the first time I’ve encountered a Romanesque Gladiatorial style one. James blends the past and future ridiculously well here.
Our leading lady has endured tragedy, horror, and torture all before being sold into slavery to a Xaranthian. At our opening, Mia has endured so much, yet realizes that she’s lost something. She chooses to re-embrace her humanity and try to rescue her “partner” in the current gladiatorial match. A female with almost no combat skills, and as one of the top fighters in the arena Mia is Done.
Castor, our lead hunk, has come to rescue Mia in the stead of her crewmates. Crewmates Mia thinks are dead. Only he winds up tricked and set-up by Throl, Mia’s owner and entered into the gladiatorial games as well.
Our two wind up finding a great deal more than either bargained for as they fight to survive and escape. This one is a really fun ride and has a wonderful mix of history and futuristics, along with a stellar cast.

Castor's Kiss (Soul Bonded in the Stars # 2)Castor’s Kiss by Tai James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Castor’s Kiss is the second book in the Soul Bonded in the Stars series. Following on from the previous book, we catch up with Mia who is being held captive and made to fight in a deadly arena. Castor is sent to rescue her, ahead of Keira and Phoenix, but the rescue mission turns out to be a lot more complicated than anticipated and Castor and Mia have to fight to survive long enough to make their escape.
This is an interesting play on the soulmate trope. Neither Castor or Mia are particularly looking for a soulmate – in fact, Castor has been actively supressing his instincts to search out his soulmate. And it’s a really inconvenient time, as both need to be focused on fighting and developing as a team. They have to learn to make it work, and not let their feelings distract them from the task at hand.
Soul Bonded in the Stars is a vibrant sci-fi romance series with wonderful settings and characters. In Castor’s Kiss, I particularly liked De’ara, who Mia initially dismisses as incapable of fighting and in need of saving. De’ara gets a chance to prove herself and show what she can really do.
I would recommend this series to sci-fi fans. It is probably worth starting with the first book, Phoenix’s Touch, to get to know the world and characters and to enjoy Keira and Phoenix’s story. Castor’s Kiss gets five stars from me!

I very much enjoyed reading this book! I had not read the previous stories, so it took me a bit to organize all of the characters, but once I did, everything flowed nicely. I love the focus on mental health and especially men’s mental health with a focus on athletes. My heart broke for Evan trying to work through his mental blocks, depression, and anxiety. While I don’t have a lot in common with a former pro male athlete, it was nice to see that other people struggle with the same internal negative voices. Callie was an amazing support to Evan and it was so sweet seeing how they support each other’s dreams and goals. This was definitely a very sweet and steamy book that I recommend for sure! I look forward to checking out the previous books and the rest of the series!

I really liked reading this book, and enjoyed how different it was from other Sci-Fi romances!
The author gave us characters that meshed well together, and you really got a chance to see them develop together.
Mia was amazing. Her character left an impression on you from the start because her journey was one that was mentally and emotionally trying. Cast into slavery and then made to fight for her life daily in an arena she only become stronger. A hardened woman to survive but never once displayed a lack of heart. When she and Castor are put together to fight she finds a partner in the arena and out. The mate bond between them is intense with a chemistry that can’t be fought. Together they are equals and so much more.
