A good paranormal romance book! Our lead characters are written well but could use a little more fleshing out. I feel like they are just on the cusp of being spectacular! Raven has the charm of a witch coming into her own and her power. She has gone the road of “being normal” and now has been pulled in to the world of her family and ancestry. Romano is an old master vampire with a long-standing hatred of witches. He is tasked with finding the traitors in the midst of his people. He catches Raven spying on his home and is instantly captivated with her. Poof! He is over his hatred and mistrust. The world is well-written but could also use a little more fleshing out in the details. Overall, the book is really good! It just feels a little rushed and like a few more details could be added to really knock it out of the park!

Cam and Freyja are happy. Blissfully so. They live in Lewis with other like minded people and enjoy their peace. However strangers are about to shatter everything they know and every reason they thought they were chosen when those strangers show up with a kid that is essentially a clone of their own. Super breeding ethics and dark dark intentions come to a head in this story and Freyja and Cam have one more mission and this one is for family.

Laugh out loud funny! Made me imagine I was sitting beachside with my toes in the sand, book & beverage in my hand! Quick, easy, enjoyable read! While book 3 in the Postscript Island series is a stand alone novel, I do wish that I would have read the other two prior! Loved the author (R.S Jonesee) and their writing style! I will DEFINITELY seek out the other novels to go back and read!
Marissa & Weston were high school sweethearts until one day, Weston decided it was “too much” and left the island to pursue his dreams. Weston eventually returns home to the island, as he mom attempts to lure him home permanently with a business offer that he can’t refuse.
A nudist colony, a condom company, lots of laughs, some romance, and a mystery to solve…..all in a gorgeous, tropical setting. It doesn’t get any better than this! 5 stars! Highly recommend

Melody, Imani, and Lance are back and their friendship is seemingly stronger than ever. That is, until they are faced with more hardships and tragedies that test them each individually and as a group. The Colors of Love is Lance’s story, but Imani shares the spotlight most of the time.
There is a lot going on throughout The Colors of Love and so many characters with issues of their own to meet. Emotions run high from page one and never let up. In this book you get love, sadness, deceit, betrayal, heartache, grief, and jealousy. There is a lot to take in, including possible triggers: suicide, racism, domestic violence, and kidnapping.

Raye – Review by Megan Pesek
Once again I was a tad disappointed. I started off thinking that Lance was gonna be the star of this book but it didn’t really feel that way, it seemed to be more about his escapades than him protecting his girls. Imani was very annoying to me in this book, the mixed signals, how she handles the issues with melody, she was just too all over the place.
I will say that unwavering friendship is a wonderful thing and I think it’s beautiful in these books. It’s always good to have a couple of good people on your corner.

Raye – Review by Allison Davis
From the first few pages of this book I knew I would love this book! The first in the series always sets the tone for what else is to come, and this one proved the same, also ending with the perfect setup for the second book in the series.
I loved how the author first introduces us to Josh, giving us an inside look at how his life has been for him all of these years since last seeing Maeve. I fell in love with both him and Maeve early on in the book, and throughout the love triangle between him and Maeve and Austin, I was cheering for him to be the lucky guy that Maeve chooses. I can’t wait to see where the trilogy goes and am excited to read more!
This book is a great ending to this series. Our core group of friends, Melody, Lance and Imani are faced with new life challenges, and must sort out their relationships in order to be able to save their friendships. When the spouse of one of them unexpectedly passes away, the three musketeers must pull together to help one of their own. Their relationships as well as their individual relationships to other college friends, and even their own family members are all affected, examined, and changed. This book will make you realize just how important relationships are in life, and help you to appreciate those who are always there for you, no matter what.

I love mythology books and this one does not disappoint. Azreya is a curious, yet intelligent child that is Cursed by the Tepeyollotli at birth. Her parents, with the guidance of a shaman named Nukpana decided to leave her with the Shaka so he can help her beat the demon within her. Although Nukpana teaches Azreya everything she knows, he is no friend to her and she ends up on her own with the knowledge that the Spanish are going to invade her land and if she doesn’t get all of the Aztecs to fight as one her people and her culture will be destroyed.

An intense read with lots of drama and action. A well written story that has Kaylee wondering about her decisions about Jayson. She had a crush on him in high school and now has to arrest him as a drug dealer now that she’s a cop. The story deals with the responsibilities they have and the romance that tries to happen. The plot kept me engaged from the beginning. This author writes in such a way that you feel like you could be reading something that happened in your community. The characters are very relatable and you feel invested in their story. I really enjoyed this story. I love this author’s works. I can’t wait for her next book.

Book three of the Colors trilogy, this one knocked my socks right off. So much going on with Lance, Melody and Imani. It’s good to see that they still stick together. I felt every emotion through this story: happiness, pain, joy and sadness, all of it. The author has tied up the storyline so well that everything comes together. It is a happy ending with some pain along the way. The characters are familar faces that we have come to know and love. They are still so easy to relate to. If you haven’t tried this story or this series, I recommed you do. This is series that is better read in order.

I think this is a good start to a new series. It definitely felt like it was setting the scene for the other books to come but it was a great way to be introduced to the characters and the overall story. I enjoyed reading about the main character. She is strong and interesting to read about and, for me, carried the story. The book was quite a short read, fast paced and fully of action. I think the author had a bit of scope to go into more detail and draw it out a bit longer but I enjoyed what had been written. This book has done its job and got me interested enough to read what comes next.

King – Review by Kerry Baker
A second chance, opposites attract romance with some really good character development. Kylee and Jayson had a strong chemistry between them, even though they really should stay away from each other. Their worlds clash in a big way and yet they find themselves drawn to each other. I thought the overall story was pretty good. I found the switch between 1st and 3rd person to be a little confusing at times. I think the story would have been stronger for the author picking one POV to tell the story in. However, I enjoyed the idea behind the story and found myself engaged in what I was reading. This is a good book with some great characters.

This is book four in this gripping dystopian romance series, and having read and enjoyed the previous three books, I was looking forward to this fourth instalment, and I was not disappointed. I would recommend reading the novels in order as the storyline continues where the last book left off. It was nice being back with the wonderfully detailed main characters, Cam and Freyja, who are now happily living with their family and friends on Lewis. They are finally feeling safe and content within their isolated and sustainable community, having gone back to their Gaelic roots. The community are getting used to living their ‘new normal’ lives, calling on the circle of protection and security that the Caim provides. However, it’s not long before their frightening adventures continue, when old acquaintances arrive with shocking news, forcing Cam, Freyja, and a few trusted friends to leave their homes behind once again. The couple will also discover the truth about why they were chosen, and what the diabolical plans are that the scientific community has planned, especially for Freyja. Yet again the descriptive narrative brings the setting vividly to life making me feel immersed in the story. The plot twists kept me hooked and the storyline is a mix of drama, mystery and romance, which ensured I was happily turning the pages, late into the night! I look ‘impatiently’ forward to book five!

Ava Ramos is a woman with a larger than life reputation, she is a mage and the owner of the Black Cauldron Detective Agency and being based in New York at the heart of the supernatural community, she isn’t lacking in work. She has been out on her own for a while now and finding missing objects, or uncovering secrets are what Ava and her team do best and between them, they pretty much knows the city like the back of heir hands, or at least Ava thought she did, until Tasis, her old boss comes calling with a case.
The Lauret Grimoire has been stolen and he needs Ava and her team to find it, it is one of the oldest and most dangerous books out there, so time is against them from the beginning, it has been stolen from one of the most secure libraries for mystical documents and Tasis himself is one of the guards and no clues to the identity of the thief have been found. Ava is reluctant at first, but when Tasis calls it as the last favour she owes him, then she reluctantly agrees, but the case is more complicated than they expected and they keep running into dead ends
Will Ava and her team be able to find the Lauret Grimoire in time, or will it disappear and cause more problems than any of them can imagine? This is an urban fantasy with risks at every turn as the race against time and dangerous opponents in the supernatural community beneath a city filled with non magical people who could easily become caught in the crossfire.
Historical romance has never been my jam, I don’t know why. Maybe it’s verbiage, maybe it’s style, I don’t know. I DO know this book made me rethink that idea. THIS historical romance is beautifully written, has great world and character building, lots of chemistry between the main characters and is HOT HOT HOT.
Gabriel is a man on the fringes of society – his father left him a bastard, but he is wealthy thanks to his own smarts, and also best friends with one of THE high level society members. He has his pick from nearly any woman of any status, and he has had his fair share – but the one he WANTS is Lady Celia Buchanan. While he lusts for her, desires her, and dreams of her – he has convinced himself he is not worthy. Therefore, he hangs around, watching her at society events. Imagining how they would spend their time together and the things he would do, if given the chance – while also feeling like he is protecting her.
Lady Celia Buchanan has a secret in her past that she would like to keep hidden – or at least to marry a man who won’t hold it against her. While her mother does her fair share of work to marry off her daughter, Celia is reluctant – until she notices Gabriel watching her. He’s devastatingly handsome, obviously protective, and the things he says to her when they speak…she is interested in the things he could teach her.
While the entire book is them getting to the truth of the matter, how they are perfect for each other and in for an intense, passionate relationship together – you watch them grow together. Lady Celia is a strong female lead who is likable (for most of the book), smart, passionate, and strong. Gabriel is imposing and dominant, but putty in Celia’s hands. He is masculine, passionate, well thought and spoken…they make a wonderful couple and this read definitely shouldnt just be left laying around for anyone to pick up. NSFW but SO GOOD. Just a great, well written book. Enjoy!

Ashley is in her senior year at Redmond High School. Her father passed away a year prior leaving her to live with her step mother and two step sisters. Her father left her a trust fund to go away to college but with one stipulation, she must graduate on time. Ashley’s step mother, Veronica, will stop at nothing to get that money for herself. She puts Ashley to work in the family funeral home and only gives her the bare minimum time to complete anything else outside of work.
Harry James, a famous pop star, has gotten into a lot of trouble. His sentence included finishing high school with no more trouble and out of the spotlight. Redmond High School has a really good basketball team so that is the school he decides to serve his sentence out.
Cue the meet cute in the funeral home no less. Instantly there are sparks but the universe seems against them being together.
Everyone loves an old fashioned fairy tale, especially the classics. This book is a modern take on Cinderella and I loved it. Cinderella was one of my favorites when I was a child but this book made it more relatable.
Ashley and Harry are so different from each other yet so similar at the same time. Ashley is hardened by the loss of her father, she no longer believes in love and has so many walls up that she seems indifferent to everything. She is sassy, honest and will say what’s on her mind even if it will get her into trouble.
Harry is a charismatic guy who has trouble disappointing people. He will go out of his way to make everyone else happy, even at the expense of his own happiness. Being thrust into the spotlight at a young age made him lose himself and he has become a shell of what he once wanted to be.

Wow, what a great and fascinating story!! It was a nice change of pace for me and a wonderful surprise of a story as I sat and was totally engrossed in this world of mythology and fantasy and followed along with Azreya and her journey.
Azreya’s journey starts when she is little…..originally thought to be “cursed”. Her family invests into a shaman to help, Nukpana. As Nukpana helps Azreya understand her gifts, she also has to learn to tame her inner beast. Not all what it seems to Azreya, as she wants to protect her Aztec people and also is deceived by those around her.
Wonderful story and captured me right from the beginning. I also loved the beginning glossary of the Aztec words (so I know what they mean) and the illustrations as it gave me a sense of the characters in the story. Well Done and Highly Recommended!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Stars!

This anthology is filled with stories for anyone and everyone no matter the genre you like to read. I loved to see new to me authors along with authors I’ve come to love reading. C.A. King being one of those. Her story hit home as a mother myself and doing anything you can for your child no matter what. The others in this anthology are all so great as well and I can’t pick another to pinpoint as they were great in their own ways. Pick up your copy today and help support this anthology charity.

When I read the blurb about this story, I was kinda interested and thought I would take a chance on something a little different for me. Well, call me hooked. The story is fabulous. I love the way the threads of the classic are woven into the modern. It is not a simple retelling, it is more of reinvention of the fairytale genre.
Ashley Jones is still lost in the grief of her father’s recent death when her step-mother moves her to Washington State for an investment opportunity. Ash starts working for the family funeral home. This makes high school super fun (note the sarcasm). Ash is isolated until Laura moves to town.
Harry James is a pop star. Harry and his best friend accidentally burned down their high school chem lab. As part of Harry’s probation, he must attend and graduate from a normal high school. Guess whose school he attends. From the moment Harry first meets Ash, he knows she is different. She doesn’t care about his superstar status. He can be himself, the real him, with her. As their friendship develops, obstacles and people try to prevent them from being together. It looks like disaster for Ash and Harry.
Like the magic in this modern reinvention, any reader will be put under the spell of this author and her fantastically woven tapestry. Awesome series!!

What a Story! I Loved it! It moves along at a great pace! That was one of my favorite things. I was leery of the Part 1,2,3 but it actually flowed very well. The characters! Woo Wee do I love them! I was able to “get into” the characters head and thoughts. I felt right along with them. Happiness, frustration, disbelief and anguish. Her parents are saints! In fact I wish they could adopt me. They really have their family at heart. All of the main and secondary characters had forward movement or growth.
I actually really enjoyed this and read it in a couple days. This is my first book by this author. I will keep an eye out for more from her.

This story is cute, sweet and oh so sexy. Set in the 1800’s when society mattered and reputations were important. Celia Buchanan and Gabriel Rose pushed the limits of society and each other. I enjoyed this story. It was easy to read and follow. Both characters had their own angst and past problems to be worked out. Little did they know they would need one another to make their world right.
“She felt…right. It was the only way he could describe it. Right in his world of everything wrong.”
This story includes many sexy scenes and includes dirty words along with consensual adult situations. I would recommend this author and story.

This is a combination of two cute children’s stories in one book. The first story, A Present for the Volcano, has the two dinosaur friends work together to make a necklace for the volcano who is about to erupt. In the second story, Saving Conifer’s Eggs, the friends are united to work together to keep a forest fire from damaging Conifer’s eggs. I think both of these stories would be a good addition to a classroom library. There are social, emotional messages of cooperation and teamwork, creative thinking to problem solve, emotional regulation, and friendship in the book. Kids who enjoy dinosaur stories would also engage well with these books. The illustrations also add a vivid picture to the words.

I believe that this author is trying to break me. After the horrible relationship in the first book, one would think that Melody would get a break. Nope. Then throw in Marco and Imani, Imani and Lance, Lance and Heather, graduation and so much more. I don’t know if I can take book three but I know I will read it.
If I wasn’t already attached to these characters from the first book, my attachment grew deeper with the second book. I have a feeling that I am going to be shattered after the third book. There was soooooo much that happened in this book. This story picks up immediately after the tragedy that ended the first. Melody is recovering. Imani and Lance, each facing their own guilt and recovery, protect and shield Melody from everything. Imani finds an unexpected love. Melody faces heartbreak, again, and again. Lance discovers a family secret that leads to a positive outcome. Everyone graduates. Lance gets drafted. Lance gets injured. Lance marries Heather. Melody needs a guardian angel. Imani marries Marco. Imani gets a premonition.
The rollercoaster of emotions doesn’t end. The bounds of this friendship are tested time and time again, but they prove to be strong and elastic. I can’t wait to dive into the third book. This series is phenomenal.

Raye – Review by M Policicchio
While I generally enjoy second chance romances, something was lacking for me with the characters in this story. We meet Josh and Mavis, high school sweethearts with future plans until Mavis unexpectedly leaves to protect Josh’s future. In her years away, she reconnects with Josh’s twin, Austin where these two form a relationship. Mavis eventually returns home to mend ways with Josh, Austin and her brother which leads to emotional breakthroughs. I found myself drawn more towards the storyline of Mitch and Lauren. While the storyline is enjoyable, my intrigue for the main characters was just not there and I found Mavis selfish in her decisions.
This is a modern-day telling of Cinderella. There have been dozens and dozens of Cinderella themed books over the years. I can’t say I’ve ever come across one where the girl that is comparable to Cinderella works in a funeral home doing makeup. The singer/dancer for Prince Charming has been done.
Ashley is an outcast at her high-school….mainly for one reason. That reason? She works in a funeral home giving makeovers to the newly departed. Harry is the Prince of Pop with the bad boy image to go with it. He’s sent back to high-school as part of his probation. His crime? Setting a school chemistry lab on fire. At least he has his best friend, George Sparks, there to keep him out of trouble…. or can he?
Ashley is a relatable character. She isn’t flat and monotonous. She has character, attitude which comes out more than once and a great personality.
