This is a pretty interesting read and even though it’s part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone. I do want to go back and read the previous books for more context on this story though. I do get a little confused when there is a dual timeline as I struggle to keep the different parts separate, yet together.
It’s the year 1593 and Christopher Marlowe is in trouble. The playwright is being taken to the White Tower but he’s desperate to get a message to his love, Tam, in the present day. Tam’s a homicide detective who can possibly help him out, but then again, maybe it would be best if he handled this on his own.
This book is about time travel, detectives, love, fae, shapeshifters, and more! It’s full of mystery, intrigue, high stake choices, and more!

Towne – Review by Julie Johnson
Book 2 picks up right where book 1 left off and you are immediately pulled back into Faerie with Chloe and into the deadly adventure. We get to see Chloe and Quintus grow and develop as they fight together to save Faerie from the mortals bent on destroying the Fae. I loved the ebb and flow of the adventure mixed with the relationship building and found it the perfect mix. It was wonderful getting to see Chloe coming into her own and realizing that you don’t have to be a warrior to win wars. She ends up leading her small team of Quintus, Mishti, and Ludo to a plan to save Faerie. She even manages to get a very sweet giant pet dragon. This was a fantastic follow up to book 1 and I can’t wait for the third book to come out next year. If you love fantasy with a ton of adventure and heart, this is the series for you.

Moody – Review by Amanda Haller-Doris
I haven’t read any of the other books in this series, but this was an easy-to-understand stand-alone book so it wasn’t an issue. I also want to go back and read the previous 3 books. This was an enjoyable enemies-to-lovers story with a rock star and the patient woman that has to deal with him. I took a little bit to get into it, but I finished it quickly once I did.

When I saw that this was a rom-com that involved pet owners I knew I needed to read it! It did not disappoint and was a quick, fun read. I thought the banter between the characters was great and I liked the background characters as well. Looking forward to book 2!

Books that immediately pull me in are always ones I remember most. This did exactly that from start to finish I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. Evie and Damian were characters that you want only happiness for like you root for them the entire story. Each one having a different story to tell while also having their story to tell. Each character was well developed and easy to connect with. While the storyline kept getting better with each page. I’m so glad I found this book and definitely will be Adding it to my read again list. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

This book was definitely an interesting one. I have read a couple books from this author before so I knew that I would likely enjoy it. The cover is absolutely stunning and once I dug into the book itself I was blown away. Once again we’re give great characters, a plot that flowed beautifully, and a relationship that was just perfect. I absolutely loved Ben and Trudy and I loved watching their relationship developed. The mystery behind the bones was intriguing and intense, and kept you on the edge of your seat throughout the story. So if you’re looking for a great new book make sure to pick this one up today.

So can we talk about the norse, Celtic, Egyptian crossover? Add some supernatural elements and we have one of the best books I’ve read. Émilien and Hel are at odds but must come together to save their daughter and stop the threat on all realms. Will Hel and Émilien be able to put their differences aside and repair their broken relationship? I cannot wait to learn more about their daughter Shalendra and what her journey entails.

I have no idea what I thought this book was going to be about when I chose it but I was pleasantly surprised. I love Norse mythologyy and magic. Seeing it played out this way was fantastic. The combination of mythology with historical events was genius. The results of changing one thing in the past is enormous and out every other realm in danger. Will Bernard be able to set it right again? You’ll have to read and find out. Meanwhile, Bernard’s family remains a mystery and the more he digs into it the more questions are brought up. I cannot wait to read the next book to see what secrets unfold.

I’ve been a hardcore mafia romance reader for a while now, and this book is for sure on the list of mafia romances that I love. It’s more action than romance, which honestly I liked a lot. Most of the time it’s a pretty even mix, but this one is a little more lowkey as far as the spicier scenes. The intro for this book hit me like a ton of bricks. It for sure captured my attention and the author kept that attention throughout the whole book. I’m for sure going to be picking up the next book, and I can’t wait to see where the rest of the series goes!

Defying Ella: A Close Proximity Rock Star Romance (True Platinum Series #4) by Morgana Bevan
This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Defying Ella is the fourth book in the True Platinum Series. It can be read as a standalone. Ella and Jared will leave you wanting more. The chemistry in the book is so life like its amazing.
Jared is an up and coming rockstar. He puts on a mask to keep everyone at arms length. Then he meets Ella and she changes things. Then he’s snowed in a cabin with her. Can he go back to being the bad boy or will his need for Ella win out? The quote I chose for Jared is: “Your patience is endless. I don’t know how you kept from taking my head off when we first got snowed-in here. I wasn’t exactly the most pleasant person to be around in those first few days.”
Ella goes to the Alps to get away from Jared. She doesn’t want him to see how mad he’s driving her. Being snowed in doesn’t help her case any. She goes from wanting to kill him to wanting to be honest with himself. The quote I chose for Ella is: “I don’t care. You don’t set foot in her flat. I’m going to be a regular feature at her Saturday lunch date with the girls, I don’t want to so much as sniff out your cologne. Do I make myself clear? You live your life, I’ll live mine. Make sure they don’t fucking intersect.”
Highly recommended for Contemporary Romance lovers.

This first installment to this series really has a little bit of everything for everyone. Full of great word building, magic, action, mythological creatures and more I just simply couldn’t put it down. I was Originally drawn to this book by its beautiful and bright cover. But the minute that I read the first chapter I knew I was hooked. So whether your looking for your next great read or your in a reading slump I would highly recommend this amazing book. This is personally my first read from this author but trust me I will be looking for more.

I really enjoyed this book. I found it interesting because it brought two different elements together, elves and Norse Gods. This for me created a really different story and made it really enjoyable to read. The story had adventure and I loved going on the journey with Emilien and Hel. I recommend this book and author to anyone who enjoys paranormal stories with a twist.

It took me a little bit to get into the groove of the story, but once I did, I was hooked. This is the first book I’ve read by Jim Shomos and I absolutely loved it!
This story centers around Robbie, Annie, and Cat. They are intertwined in an interesting manner as they navigate through the music industry, which is not kind to anyone. Robbie is a manager trying to make it big, Cat is a volunteer that is drained beyond comprehension, and Annie is a single mother just trying to make it through. Robbie is also in charge of a songwriting contest that Annie and Cat are involved in. All three have their own drama but try to help each other through it. Will they make it unscathed, or will the music industry swallow them all whole?
There are some parts of this book, if not the entire thing, that will stick with you long after you read it. Give this entertaining and curious book a chance, you won’t regret it!

Here we go again! An earthquake demolished their original entrance to a parallel universe but April found another so off they go to visit and hopefully find their friend flick
However when they enter the vast ocean that was there is gone all sandy bottom which begs the question what happened… where are the residents… what time is it in their parallel world…. is flick even still an existing being?
Don’t miss another great Sci fi story with lots of built In logic puzzles, physics, and math along the way!
The descriptions in this story continue to floor me… this author has a vivid imagination and it brings so much to the story!

This is the first book I have read from this author and the first one of this series. I was unaware that it was part of a series but the cover had me intrigued to read it. This book was really great! Rockstar Jared blew into Ella’s life out of nowhere. Jared was the bad-boy rebel who didn’t let people get too close to him. He has anxiety, is grumpy, and would rather jump from bed to bed than let himself get close to his heart. Jared and Ella shared a week of pure magic getting to know each other. But Jared rolled out of Ella’s life as fast as he entered. Ella doesn’t want to like Jared because he’s a jerk to her, but her heart says otherwise. When they ended up on the same tour bus together it was going to be hell. When Ella gets the chance to put miles between them she can’t leave fast enough. When she gets to the cabin in the middle of nowhere Ella can finally relax after months of tension. When the door flies open Ella can’t believe her eyes!! JARED!! The two end up being snowed in with no rescue in sight. This could either go very well or horribly wrong.

Trudy works as a medical examiner who is trying to bring justice to victims and their families. When seeking out answers to the bones found under a house after a huge explosion, she encounters Ben, a forensic anthropologist. Although they see the crime from two different viewpoints, it brings them together. Trudy believes that the killer may still be out in the city. Will these two solve the crime or will the killer find them first to keep them from spilling their secrets? I love crime and mystery books, now add romance to that. What a wonderful well written book that keeps you wanting more! I will be going back to read the rest of this series!

Chloe is still in Faerie working on how to defeat the mortals and heal the land of Faerie. She and Quintus find common ground with Mishti to help rescue Ludo. After they become an unlikely team, they hurry to find a way to stop the mortals’ advance on the courts of Faerie. Unfortunately, they end up finding themselves in a race to find elements to reverse the destruction the iron is causing on Faerie and, in turn, the mortal realm. Chloe struggles with telling her sister about her loss and confronting her on how she makes Chloe feel useless. Can she accept the truth of her loss and how it will forever change her life? Can she put together the antidote for Faerie and save it and also her sisters? Will her sister and others ever see her as more than someone to be protected?
I liked the continuation of this storyline. It was good to see the characters struggle with their decisions and how they had to reconcile them with themselves. I liked how Mishti points out to Chloe that maybe the battle they are facing isn’t her sister’s story but Chloe’s. It gives hope to people with disabilities to see that they are not worthless. Just because they cannot swing the proverbial sword, does not mean they can’t help in other ways like strategy. It was also good to see the characters that can swing that same sword come to terms with the fact that they do not always have the answers either. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next in this series!

Cue in the heartbreaker, forced to spend even more time together, the two discover more about themselves and what they feel for each other. Will they still feel the same after they can leave the cabin or will reality smack them in the face? I love enemy to lovers’ books! And this one, this was a great one. This is the fourth book in a series but can be read separately. I will for sure be going back to read the others!

More Text than Sex by Jim Shomos is an entertaining book that follows the story of Cat, and Robbie. Cat and Annie run a public songwriting contest that Robbie has delegated to. Robbie has hopes of romantically connecting with Annie but they run into some issues. I really enjoyed this book. It was an excellent, fun read. The plot ran smoothly and the characters were well-written. The chemistry between Robbie and Annie warmed up and then took off. The story was fun and adventurous and was a delight to read.

The Intruders is a fast-paced supernatural thriller and my first read of Casey’s work. Let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly intrigued. This is one book that you just can’t put down because you have to know what comes next and so on. To say I was engrossed in the story is an understatement.
Casey has cleverly woven plot is full of suspense and the intensity of the story is palpable. Jumping off the pages to have you on the edge of your seat and looking in those dark corners to see if anything is waiting in the dark.
I am not going to give anything away but suffice it to say this is one book you do not want to miss out on. With danger and violence, supernatural happenings and action this has something for anyone who loves this genre.
Shadow and Crystal Thorns is the second book in the Fae and Crystal Thorns series. It is a YA Fae fantasy tale. The first book Flame and Crystal Thorns ended on a cliff-hanger and I was excited to see what was going to happen. Luckily it continues right where the first book ends which means the books should be read in order.
Kay’s writing is rich in details making it easy to imagine. This is a world with fae, magic and dragons. Who doesn’t love dragons? A magical world where there are those whom are mortal are out to destroy them.
It is a quick paced read with lots of suspense, action and danger.
The romance between Chloe and Quintus continues and she is just as torn between staying or going but things maybe different than she thought. Can her team finally sort the problems with the Mortals?
Nooooooooo! It also ends in a cliff-hanger. I hate them!

Yesterday’s Over is the third book in the Philly Heat series. It is a romantic thriller with a few twists and turns. With secrets and lies, bombings and murder, danger and uncertainties just to name a few, there is something for everyone to keep the pages turning.
The complex characters are full of flaws and all and you will fall in love with them. This is Trudy and Ben story where the chemistry between them is undeniable. With romance, drama, and suspense what more do you need. I really enjoy a story when it is told in dual POV and this one was.
To unravel the mystery, they must work together but what happens when professional and private lives become blurred? Who is out to get them and who wants to keep them from unveiling the truth?
I wonder what is next on the agenda for the Philly Heat series?

In the second book of this series, the Fae and mortals are in battle with one another. Chloe is in the Faerie realm to help win against the mortals. Chloe meets Quintus and is not so sure she wants to leave. Chloe has to use her magic to try to win this battle to protect the lands. The author has done a great job developing these characters and this world. Looking forward to the next book!!

I enjoyed reading this young adult fantasy story. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading before this one. It will help you enhance this series and show you where the characters have been before this point. This is an author that I have enjoyed reading. Her books are always entertaining and easy to read. This is no different. It is a well written story about a battle between fae and mortals for the same land. Who will win is up to you to read this book and find out. This is a fast paced, engaging story that had me coming back for more. The characters are connectable and just made the story for me. I really enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it.

Although this is the 4th book in the True Platinum Series, this is the first one I have read. It totally worked as a standalone. Jared and Ella are so different. Their constant fighting on the tour is noticed by everyone. So when the two of them get snowed in together no one is sure if either will come out alive. Can they survive each other? Will they get to the true bottom of their problems? I just loved this story. It was very raw and open. I could not put it down.

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed the previous books in this series, I was looking forward to reading this latest story, and I was not disappointed. Assistant Chief Medical Examiner Trudy Beasley is asked to investigate when bones are discovered in the rubble following a massive explosion that rocked Philadelphia. Trudy is used to being able to provide answers and closure to victims families, but the mystery surrounding the skeletal remains is something she’s never seen before. Her instincts are telling her that whoever was responsible for the deaths may still be loose in the city, and she is determined to get answers. However, Forensic anthropologist Benjamin Roberts disagrees, and just sees the remains as an academic challenge, and not a legal one. The more time the couple spend together as the investigation progresses, Trudy and Ben’s professional relationship also becomes more of a personal one. As their relationship develops, the pair are in danger, as someone wants the secrets that were buried along with the bones to stay a secret, and is willing to kill again. This was an enjoyable and exciting read, with great characters and a storyline that kept me hooked from start to finish. The characters are so likeable and relatable, that I felt engaged with them, and the chemistry between Trudy and Ben really came across in the narrative. An entertaining romantic suspense novel, which I definitely recommend.

An enjoyable and engaging romantic suspense which had me hooked from page one. When Philadelphia police officer Kylee Parker chases a drug dealer, she did not expect to know him as the bad boy who she had a teenage crush on. Kylee is a dedicated officer used to protecting and serving, and seeing things as either right or wrong, black or white, and either good guys or bad guys. The even more dangerous and attractive Jayson Donovan, who is the right hand man to a local drug-pushing mobster, is definitely a bad guy, however, Kylee can’t deny the attraction that is still there. Jayson knows he is not good enough for Kylee and that he should stay away from her, but he just can’t, not having discovered the chemistry between them. It’s not long before Jayson’s secrets threaten them both. This was an exciting read, with great characters, who’s chemistry sizzled off the page, and a storyline that kept me gripped throughout.

This is a fantastic continuation of an exciting YA story. I would recommend reading this series in order as book 2 picks up from where book one left off. I was instantly pulled back into this story and the characters. It was as though I had move from one book straight into the next. This book is even better than the first one. I enjoyed the fact that you could see clear development through the stories, it felt like we were getting to know the characters even more. This book adds so much to the series as a whole and I am looking forward to whatever is next.
