Key To His HeartKey To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

4.5 Stars

 

Key to His Heart by Kristina Beck packs an emotional wallop that really tugged on my heartstrings. It is a small-town contemporary romance, which is inspired by true events. The story touches on subjects that may be considered sensitive to some readers- but was done honestly and realistically. It is told from a duel POV which balances the story while giving the reader a great perspective of events. Ms. Beck has woven her story with so much heart and soul. She has crafted some very realistic characters, who have been well developed with their own personalities, quirks, and flaws. It was easy to feel for them and what they were going through. Investing in them and their story wasn’t hard- I was all-in.
Ms. Beck proves once again to be a great storyteller, constructing a plot full of complexities, connection, struggles, secrets, confusion, angst, discovery, drama, fate, chemistry, tenderness, understanding, sizzle, and romance.
A sweet story!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Kristina Beck!

This is my first book by book by this author, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I quickly devoured the words. Tj and Kat are perfect for each other. The story was both original and delightful. The chemistry between TJ and Kat was perfect. The emotions that this book caused me were just what I needed. I would definitely recommend this book.

Truth or Kill (Twisted Legends Collection #1) by A.C. Kramer-Review by Amanda Kimble

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5/5 Stars

Truth or Kill: A Standalone Dark Romance (Twisted Legends Collection #1) by A.C. Kramer

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Truth or Kill is a twisted spin on Truth or Dare. I love the game so I thought I would give this a chance. It had me hooked from the beginning and it was hard for me to put down. Truth or Kill is the first book in the Twisted Legends Collection.

Kage is one of the killers that is in the game, but he gets sidetracked. He finds that Sydney isn’t like the others and wonders why Becca brought her along. He likes her reckless streak and hopes that she survives the week. The quote I chose for Kage is: “Don’t thank me yet, Sydney. The night is still young, and we have to make the hike back to The Lodge.”

Sydney joins her teammate for spring break and finds herself somewhere she doesn’t belong. She should’ve known that a cabin for rich people isn’t exactly like a cabin should be. Then she meets Kage and finds him handsome. Can she survive the truth? The quote I chose for Sydney is: “We’ve been teammates for the last four years . She doesn’t act like a princess on the court. But I’ve not really seen her in this, um, element.”

Highly recommended for Dark Romantic Suspense lovers.

This was the perfect follow up to the first installment and while it is great in sequence this one can be read by itself! Its the perfect book for any age but its definitely geared towards the middle school girl! Lessons like teamwork, and hardworking are taught in a way in which kids are not getting lectured and the characters are just as amazing!

I absolutely enjoyed reading this book! The author did an excellent job portraying all the characters and finding just the right hook for the readers. Its almost the perfect read for teens as well. Serious issues are discussed in a way that isn’t too heavy, there’s a tad bit of drama and there’s some paranormal to make sure the story doesn’t get too serious! I look forward to reading more from this author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a super fun read! I dug right into it after finishing book one. I love the story line between the hospital employees, the tight knit crew, the patients, and the extra visitors at the nurse’s house! The story is super easy to read, and there are plenty of characters to fall in love with. I love how the villain of this story is so demented and sick that she is just doing all kinds of bad things to patients in comas, and those alive as well. I don’t want to give the story away but I was not ready for the ending. I will be reading the next book in the series! This was a nice, weird, light hearted series to dig into.

This gripping physiological thrill had me hooked from page one, I just simply couldn’t put it down. Full of drama, suspense, betrayal, vengeance and more this thriller really had it all. The characters were perfect for the setting of this story, the author’s word building was wonderful, and the story was just twisted enough to keep you guessing the entire time. This isn’t typically my type of book I’m more of a YA or romance girl, however this thriller has definitely opened my eyes to what I’ve been missing.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is downright amazing, I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! I devoured it in a matter of hours, and it still felt like I couldn’t read fast enough! Evaline is a necromancer who loves a good mystery. She is also a very strong female lead which is very refreshing. Her father is stricter than Evaline can accept and only sees her as a future wife to someone of his choice. This is obviously not Evaline’s wishes so she takes matters into her own hands. She finds herself and her wonderful beacon, Delbert, transported to a mirror world called Londinium. They both instantly feel the danger and urgency to solve the mysterious killings by an entity known as Doctor Death. Will they be able to return to their world unharmed or will Londinium be their new, dark home? I cannot wait until Book 2 of this series! It is one I will be waiting for at the edge of my seat!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Key to His Heart is an emotional read. It is told from a dual point of view through the eyes of TJ and Katrina. The story is sweet and touching. I enjoyed getting the story from both of the main characters. It was great to see how the same story is seen through the eyes of the different characters. Love stories often deal with the situation’s timing, which this one also did. I enjoyed that the story was not outlandish or off the rails with unrealistic scenarios. I haven’t read much from this author, but I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a great read to grab if you need some realism and a HEA.

Lauren gets back to school already worrying with a new student, and her ghost friends. Her friend decides to put a gossip blog up about ghosts which has put a turn to a lot of events.

This book was truly phenomenal. What an emotional rollercoaster this was! Katrina, Tj, and Toby were characters you couldn’t help but fall in love with and they made the story so exceptional. To say I felt every emotion is an understatement, I bawled, felt their joy, and every possible feeling in between! As a single mom who found someone to share their life and the heavy load with, I can honestly say this captured that soooo well! Kristina Beck did an incredible job writing a story that felt so much like I’m sure so many’s real lives. An exceptional read that brings a realistic quality to the fiction romance novels!

This was a beautiful blend of Alice in Wonderland with necromancy, magick, and darkness. The mystery that is being solved is so intriguing and really kept me on the edge of my seat- I could NOT put this book down. I LOVE Evalines character- she has so much strength and girl power. The idea of the mirror world isn’t new but the authors writing and the characters trials throughout give it a fresh take. Also- name a better villain name then Dr. Death. So many elements of this book were perfectly executed- the interactions of the characters with Evaline, her detective work, the magick, the artifact, the writing- it was all good to be honest! There were times I couldn’t figure out where the story was going to go- and that suspense is my favorite! Definitely give this one a read. 💖

The second book in the Soul Bonded series is Castor’s Kiss. This book is a Sci-Fi and Romance all rolled up into one. Tai James ability to draw me to this book with her storytelling ability. She has just the right amount of Sci-Fi, romance, and adventure to keep the story moving. Her characters are fully developed and complicated. This is Mia’s story. She has been kidnapped and has to fight to the death. She is put into an arena where she has become the crowd’s favorite brawler. Castor is on a mission to rescue Mia. Will Castor complete the mission? Will Castor and Mia have a future with each other? I highly recommend this book if you are looking for some action and adventure.

Key To His HeartKey To His Heart by Kristina Beck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh, my goodness this story is so good. If you like to read about insta-love and soul mates with a little mystery added in, then this is definitely the book for you!

Main character, Katrina, discovers many things about herself throughout this story. One thing she discovers is how strong she is with the birth of her son, Toby. Main character, TJ, also learns a few things about himself. He learns to trust the process.

Katrina and TJ meet under strenuous circumstances and feel a connection immediately. But since both have had their hearts broken, they are leery about taking a chance on romance, even though the attraction and pull to each other is so strong.

Katrina has a few secrets that she isn’t so sure TJ can handle. And she can’t handle TJ leaving her. But her secrets are slowing killing her and those she loves. TJ knows something is going on with Katrina, but he doesn’t know how to help her, especially since she isn’t sharing her problems with him.

This story teaches the main characters and the reader to trust the process, seek help, and know that everyone is suffering from something. We are ok. You are ok.

This book is amazing. I was entranced from the minute I started reading. EmVee and Kayson seemed to have the most chemistry but then there was Silas. Rachel seems like a good friend, and then there is Megan. I don’t think any of these people are what they seem and EmVee is stuck trying to figure out why her family was brought to this town in the first place, what her dad has to do with any of it. The ending of course left me dying for more, I can’t wait to see what happens next!

This was such a great read! I was completely captivated, finding myself waking up earlier in the morning than my alarm to read it before going to work! This book encompasses two individuals, Katrina and TJ. Katrina has relocated to a different town after going through a nasty divorce and being 8 months pregnant. TJ is a retired famous football player who helps his parents out in the family store. When these two collide, sparks fly, and they cannot stand to be apart from one another! There are some crazy instances that are the driving forces that are pulling them together and the way that was written was one of a kind and just so brilliant. The way the author wrote this book, the ideas, wording and details was phenomenal! I cannot wait to read more of her books!!

This YA fantasy book is part of a series but can be read alone. This mystery, danger, supernatural book is fast paced and attention grabbing. This book is about Reece, the car loving, adrenaline seeking car racer who finds himself in a race he didn’t bargain for.
Reece finds himself in a world he thought only existed in books, then forced to make tough decisions, with tough lessons with even tougher consequences. Save the love of his life or save his family, Can he save both?

There is love, betrayal and secrets. This book had me hooked from the very beginning and can’t wait to read more by this author
