Master Catteneo: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate #5) by Sylvia Black

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Master Catteneo is the fifth book in the Masters of the Consulate. Each book can be read as a standalone. Characters from the first four books are in this one. The author knows how to write the words we can’t stop reading.

Catteneo is one of the twelve masters. When one of the mates is kidnapped all the Masters come together. He goes to someone he knows only to find his mate. The granddaughter of the contact he has. The quote I chose for Catteneo is: “Do you mind if I take this with us? I have some contacts in the city I will reach out to. I expect Isala will contact you directly with demands. When you’ve got the rest of the team ready, meet me at my estate. Everyone can stay there. It has plenty of room. Meanwhile I want to talk to a few people.”

Alessia knows there are vampires out there. She also has the same power as her grandmother. When her Grandmother tells her that they are coming she understands. What she isn’t expecting is to find her mate. The quote I chose for Alessia is: “You don’t half to explain anything to me, Gramma. I’m sorry I questioned you. I’m just shocked. Why on earth would the vampires want to start a war now? They’re sitting at the top of the hierarchy in terms of power. They have the respect of almost everyone in the underworld. While I’m sure all the factions would love nothing more than to take that power, most people grudgingly respect the vampires for the way they’ve been able to assimilate into the modern world and their ability to work alongside even the Syndicate.”

Highly recommended for Paranormal Romance lovers.

After She Became a Lady by Wareeze Woodson – Review By Katie Matthews

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. The synopsis grabbed my attention straight away as I love historical romance but this seemed have a bit of an added suspense and mystery to it so I couldn’t wait to get started. Laurel was such a wonderful character and for a woman so young she really came across as strong and brave – she really did cope well with everything she had to deal with in the absence of her new husband. The author writes historical romance very well, her descriptive language is great and her attention to detail makes the story very easy to imagine! Overall a great read!

I really enjoyed this book, from beginning to end I was thoroughly entertained. The authors writing was really engaging and my interest was held throughout. I love military romance reads so when I found this one I couldn’t wait to start it and I wasn’t disappointed. I loved the characters Pippa and Bryce. I loved their meeting and the definite attraction and passion that was there between them. The author threw in some nice twists to the story. I particularly loved the detail the author went into in some parts – I could definitely imagine what I was reading.

This series just continues to get better and better with each book I read. I am totally hooked on this creative storyline that is weaving its way through all the books…Don’t get me wrong if you haven’t read the previous books you can still read this book and thoroughly enjoy it BUT if you read the entire series your enjoyment and understanding of the storyline as it unfurls will definitely be greatly enhanced. This very talented author so vividly creates the world and lives of the masters that you can so easily see in your minds eye the world around them and feel as though you are right there with them.

This is the 5th book in a fantastic vampire romance series that I’m loving more and more as each book comes out. I read a lot of romance but not a lot of paranormal romance but this series has really gripped me, not just with the romance but the storyline that is running alongside. Each book can technically be read as a standalone but there is a continuing story running through the series.
In this book we are getting the story of Master Catteneo who has been given the job of finding Overmaster Descallia’s mate Lucianna. In carrying out this role he comes in contact with psychic Alessia who is determined to help him.
I really enjoyed reading Catteneo and Alessia’s story. This is definitely a story where true love does not run smoothly, There are so many bumps along the road for this pair which makes for very entertaining reading.
I love that we get to see the couples from previous books as it’s like meeting up with old friends and seeing what they have been up to since you last saw them.
This is a great series and I really loved this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved Devlin! Such a sweet workplace romance. Of course never without its ups and downs and tension. But isn’t that what keeps the reader intrigued. I loved what the author did. I just wish it was more. I finished this book in one sitting and was sad when it was done. I did like the small twist. I didn’t see it coming, but I wasn’t surprised either.
Devlin and Eve are partners at work that do everything to ignore the tension between each other. Playing it off as irritation and dislike. That is till Eve’s available and Devlin swings for the fences to get his shot. All he wanted was one night, he never realized it would be so much more.
Eve’s had her ups and downs but never lets anyone get too close.
Devlin has been hurt and just keeps it buried.
These to a whirlwind of tension, sarcasm, intentionally irritating, but sweet to one another as well.
What happens when a promotion gets in their way? They are no longer on the same plane, one is now the other’s boss.
I’ve always enjoyed reading a fictional office romance, but I’m one who has always been against them in life. If you enjoy everything I listed that this book has to offer you need to jump in head first now.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh my goodness, this has to be my favorite of the series so far. Master Catteneo and Alessia have a fated romance. He’s a Master Vampire and she’s a gypsy psychic. This story brings basically everyone back together as they look for Lucianna, who’s been taken by the evil ones working with Isala. The drama is outstanding in this installment. I love the ladies of the Masters. Alessia is just trying to fit in and here comes Embry jumping to conclusions. The adventure, romance, and suspense will draw you in and keep you there. I finished this book in 24 hours. Every minute I had, I was reading. I could not put this book down, I had to know what was going to happen. There are a couple of subplots going on by the author does such a great job of being able to take these and it all comes back together and ties in so well. The characters feel like they are people you might know. Yeah, they are supers, but they have human characteristics. Ezra, Alessia’s gramma, is awesome. I would love to see her have a story (could just be due to I’m a senior citizen also, lol). Fantastic book & series. I’ll be eagerly awaiting Master Calabria.

This was a very fun read. I enjoyed traveling to another world with Evan and meeting all of the whimsical characters. Some of the characters had not so good intentions just like the characters we encounter in real life which made the story more life like and enjoyable. I am still reveling in all the magical feels the book gave me and hope to have another installment in the story to read one day soon.

Fighting Chance: A Steamy Sports Contemporary Billionaire Romance by Toni Denise

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Fighting Chance is a fantastic read. I loved every minute and really didn’t want it to end. This book is a steamy read and I like that.

Kendall is a sports journalist. She finds out that her dad is coaching. He should be retiring, not coaching, but she soon finds out what’s going on. She goes to a match to see what the fuss is all about. The quote I chose for Kendall is: “I have no idea. If I had a better story idea, I would have led with that. I’m screwed.”

Chad moved to town in order to be trained by Rich. He had to bug the old man, but finally got through to him. When Rich’s daughter shows up things go out the window. The quote I chose for Chad is: “Hold them like that. I assume you know how to throw a punch from your dad, but if you have to use it, this will stun him enough to get away. Keep me between you and them at all times. We’re going to move quick, but try to look casual. Got it?”

Highly recommended for Sports Romance lovers.

Dex is a used car salesman, just waiting for a better job to come along. However, his wife and kids need him and he will continue his unfulfilling job to provide for them until a better one comes along. One night, while checking the lot, Dex meets a silver eyed man. That same evening, he gets a delivery on his doorstep and everything changes from here.

Dex and his family are kidnapped by intruders and end up in a bunker, with Dex begins being tortured for the answers to some very strange questions. When he can’t answer them, they figure they’ve gotten the wrong man, but now that they’ve kidnapped the family already, they need to just kill them.
The rest of the story is a race for Dex to save his family and figure out the secret behind the strange delivery before anyone catches up with them.

The descriptions in this book are excellent and keep you enthralled and flipping the pages. The solidness of Dex and his dedication to his family makes for a great read, but not in a way that makes it predictable. Twists and turns at every corner. The author includes notes at the end of each chapter, which I really enjoyed. It was nice seeing how one thing led to another in his head.

The Intruders by Brett McKay. Oh yall….this book was amazing. It’s my favorite genre which is thriller mysteries. Its the story of Dex who is a used car salesman. He has a pretty normal life, he quit a higher paying job so that he could spend more time with his family. One night him and his wife and kids are kidnapped after their house is broken into. Dex has never seen these people before but they know everything about him and his life. Trying to make his family more comfortable he makes a deal with them that he will tell them everything he knows if they will take care of his family. Its still not enough. These silver eyed people are everywhere and they are kidnapping people all over. When Dex’s family is able to escape with the help of a friend they are basically on the run. When you start this book you better buckle up because it is a fast paced read until you are finished kind of book. I loved it!

Welcome to Petty’s and Roselyn’s story. Petty is working a case protecting Roselyn. Roselyn is hiding from her abusive ex boyfriend. I admire both Petty and Roselyn! Roselyn left her ex boyfriend the first time he hit her. Smart as well as strong. Roselyn absolutely hates Petty, on the outside. Petty finds out his wife is coming home after being in prison for 7 years. Being the man he is, he gets an apartment to set up for her. Afterall he is still married to her. Things take a horrible turn for Petty. If his brothers find out his secret, Petty feels they will kick him out of Satan’s Devil’s MC. That’s all I am going to say, no spoilers. I absolutely admire this author. All I have to do is see her name and the book is mine. She wrote this series and wrote it well. Her characters are believable, strong, and loving in their own way. This is definitely a non stop action packed story. Every emotion will be brought out. So have tissues ready. While this story can be read as a stand alone, I recommend you read the series. These men and women of the Satan’s Devil MC, will surprise you just as they have me.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Master Catteneo is not used to being contradicted or challenged when he tells someone to do something. However, from his first meeting with Alessia, he finds himself constantly in that position. Alessia is the granddaughter of a psychic that sided with the vampires in their war with rogue vampires and witches. Having inherited her grandmother’s power, she finds that she will also do anything to protect the vampires. Catteneo and Alessia are forced to work together to find the Overmaster’s mate that has been kidnapped. The closer they work together, the more they find themselves drawn to each other, and eventually, entangled together. Can they complete their task before it’s too late? Will they be able to overcome the humanity of Alessia and find a way to be together?

This is a continuation of the series Masters of the Consulate. This was a quick read. It drew me in from the beginning and was fast paced through to the end. Alessia is a girl who knows her mind and doesn’t have a problem fighting for what she sees as right. She lets her heart lead her, and she fits right in with the rest of the characters in their loyalties to each other. I would have liked to have read more interactions between her and the other ladies, as well as so more in-depth backstory for Catteneo. The story continues to become more involved, and I look forward to reading more!

Whoa! Who knew that a book written about a used car salesman could be so entertaining? I truly mean it when I say…what a book!! This was an intense, thrilling, terrifying story! Brett had such spectacular descriptions of everything, so much detail made the book that much better. The fighting scenes were extremely detailed, it was amazing the thought process that went into the way he explained how someone was hurt. Dex (the main character) goes from plain ol’ used car salesman to a badass! The plot, characters, all of it…truly amazing! Also, the way that Brett included his author notes after each chapter and didn’t spoil anything about the plot was AWESOME! I don’t think I have ever read a book that the author took time to include their notes! This was my first book by Brett, and I’ll definitely be checking out some of his other books. I love page turners and books that I can’t put down, and this was definitely one of those type of books!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dex is a used car salesman who works hard to make ends meet to support his wife Reagan and their two sons. Although he hates his job, he chooses to make the most of it until something better comes along. Dex’s life seems normal until him and his family are suddenly kidnapped by strangers in the middle of the night. They are taken to an underground bunker and Dex is tortured and asked questions that he is unable to answer. When he cannot answer the questions, his kidnappers decide that Dex is of no use to them, and they now intend to kill Dex and his entire family.

Dex must act quickly to save himself and his family before it is too late. As Dex struggles to save his family from these vicious killers his entire life is changed. Not only is he fighting pure evil but in doing so he uncovers the terrifying truth that there is something far more sinister at work. Dex discovers that there are supernatural beings hiding amongst us and they intend to take over the world. The problem is that these beings are hiding amongst us in plain sight disguised as normal people. So, who can Dex trust to save him and his family?

I was completely blown away by this book and how well written it was. The author does an amazing job of capturing the reader’s attention from the first few pages which makes the book impossible to put down. The characters were well developed, and each scene was written in so much detail that it makes the reader feel as though they are there. Not only were the scenes written vividly but the author did a superb job of capturing each moment of action and suspense in a remarkable manner that few authors are able to do. The character of Dex develops throughout the book and as you read you learn more about him and what he can and will do to save his family from the danger that surrounds them wherever they go. The action is explosive and non-stop throughout as Dex, his family, and friends are on the run trying to save themselves and the world as they know it. I especially loved the author’s notes and thoughts written at the end of each chapter. I found it unique and interesting to read what his thoughts were while writing each scene. I cannot recommend this book enough and look forward to reading more from this brilliant and talented author!

Devlin
By: Angela K Parker
5*
This romance is so good! It is a forbidden office romance but it definitely does not have the normal feel of an office romance book.
Devlin is a businessman and a darn good one at that. He is known for his womanizing. He is also known for his banter with his coworker Evelyn. He has his eyes on a big promotion but that promotion has strings attached. He is not allowed to fraternize with other employees. This new rule comes at the worst possible time.
Evelyn works with Devlin and loves to hate him. The banter between them is so fun to read. In a moment of weakness she gave in to her needs and spent the night with Devlin. This is a night that she can’t get out of her head. She can’t explain the jealousy that is creeping into her when he is with other women. Luckily she just received the chance to plan the winter party for the company. This is do or die for her career and she can’t let Devlin get in her way.
Their resolve to stay coworkers and leave things to just one night is challenged when they are sent out of town together and they have adjoining rooms. Are they both willing to admit that they have more feelings than they first thought? Or will they stick to the rules that have been given to them.
I LOVED this story. I had a very hard time putting it down. I really truly loved their relationship and I hope that there is more to come from these characters!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 5th book in the Masters of the Consulate series and wow these books keep getting better and better. They ate full of danger, action, paranormal creatures and happenings and a unexpected mate which ties the story all together.
In this story we are with the Master Vampire of Itay Catteneo.
When  Overmaster Descallia’s mate gets kidnapped her last know location was Itay so Catteneo is tasked to find her so she can be rescued. When he goes to speak to a women with the the gift of sight all he wanted was to find Descallia’s mate, what he doesn’t realise is that he will find his own mate in the process.

Alessia is sent with Catteneo to help find Descallia’s mate. She had her grandmother’s gift of sight and as much as she and Catteneo try to deny it the attraction between them is instant. But neither wants to give in. Alessia is focuses and determined to help the vampires find the missing women whether they want her help or not.

I love Alessia. She is a strong and determined woman who won’t back down to anyone. She is a very skilled at what she does and as the vampires will learn she will be very useful to them. But what no one could expect is the growing relationship between her and Catteneo. At first the hatred is so strong but as they work together and get to know each other you feel that starting to change. But can she really be his true mate? Or is it just lust and attraction messing with their brains? And will they be able to save Descallia’s mate before the evil that took her destroys her and starts and complete war between all paranormal sectors?

I loved this book! It really painted a picture that sometimes what we want, is not what we truly wanted. As much as we thought, The story was interesting, with danger, and an unknowing fate.

I really came to love this book and very much enjoy the writing of this author! Laurel was a wonderful character. Felt for her. She married for love, and was whisked away in what should be a fairy tale. With her new husband’s sister, it was anything but that. I found danger was at almost every turn for her, her husband felt in the middle. Laurel wanted to live the life she wanted, not live in fear. I was pulled all the way through. I saw a lot of character development with Laurel. The ending….holy moly. I need answers now! I was pulled in and was held to the end. This book was hard to put down!

I really enjoyed the author’s writing style and use of descriptive words. I really felt I was in the historical era! The book was a must read, as well as the author, and I very much highly recommend it!

Been a loyal fan of this series, and this author since book 1, and I swear the books keep getting better and better. With steam, character depth, and action and danger! I especially loved this book!

This one had great character depth that was happening with vampires, humans, and a event that happened in a previous book! This one really pulled me in. The danger, and the threat at large was one of their own, a mate of one of the overmasters. I loved reading about Alyssa and Master Catteneo! They worked well as a team, and had heat you could not ignore! Loved their developments as well! Loved this installment!

Could not put this one down seriously! Such a freaking good read. I suggest reading from book 1 to get the full story and enjoyment of the story and characters. Highly recommend this must read book and series!

To start fresh, and to be who she really was. The book was amazing and magical for me! I loved the author’s writing style as well!

Dex is a struggling used car salesman just trying to make ends meet when he and his family are abducted by a group of armed men in the night. Even when they torture Dex he can think of no reason why he and his family have been targeted. When their captors assume they have to wrong guy, Dex and his family are marked for execution. They must escape the underground bunker and work out what is going on – who are they? And who did they think Dex was?

This was great! The pacing was perfect and the supernatural elements showed such creativity. Dex was such a likeable character. I was really invested in his family’s safety. All of the characters were written so well that they came to life and had me gasping when the intensity increased. Really enjoyed the action throughout and was satisfied with the ending.

If you enjoy a bit of action and badassery, then this is worth your time!

The format of this read was something different. The author gives his notes about each chapter right within the story. This worked well to his advantage because it made me want to read into the next chapter right away. The chapters were short and kept you hooked. Plenty of action and adventure for this family and learning their new lives after they were taken from their home. Even in a space that is supposed to be safe, you never know who you will be able to trust! Great read!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I fell in love with this series from the first chapter of the first book. I couldn’t wait until this one came out. My only complaint is that is was so good I finished it in one sitting. Now I feel lost. I cannot wait until part 3 comes out. I enjoyed this book so much that I headed over to Etsy and purchased a signed copy.

The thing I love lost about this book is that although it’s a work of fiction involving faeries and magic, it’s still relatable. The characters are developed so well. There’s growth, and depth which each one.

Chloe suffers from anxiety when it comes to fighting. She immediately freezes up. The first book kind of explains why this happens to her and why she lacks confidence in herself. But when her family and friends that she cares about is in danger she digs deep and finds strength, bravery, and love. She has such a large heart and is extremely clear headed in the face of danger.

My second favorite part is learning more about Quintus. I was completely shocked by his story and I hope we learn the reasons behind his parents choices and actions. Although he has a lot of growing to still do he made great strides in this chapter and hopefully Quintus and Chloe find away to be together.

Mishti is actually one of my favorite characters. I think her and Chloe’s relationship will evolve to an everlasting friendship. I really hope to get more focus on Mishti. Maybe they find a way to fix the affects of the white tablet? I want to know where she’s from, if she has family back home? How much time has passed?

I also hope we find out way Ludo is actually looking for and why he’s desperately trying to find it.

I have to go read Elena’s story as well I feel like it may give more understanding to Portia, Julian and the rest of the other mortals. I hope they find a permanent solution.

Please do yourself a favor and read this book. If you haven’t read the first book in the series do that first! It’s critical to understanding this one.
