My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tam Paradiso is a woman on a mission and she will stop at nothing until she sees it through to the end, there is only one complication, it involves time travel and that is something she is not familiar with, hunting monsters and aiding supernatural beings, yes, but time travel no, but hey, there is a first time for everything. Meanwhile, Christopher Marlowe is being delivered to the White Tower in London in 1593 after being summoned there from a visit to a friend, he has no idea who is behind taking him there, but he understands what he is being charged with, all he knows is that he must get word to Tam so that she doesn’t try anything reckless to help free him.

You may ask what has spurred this new challenge in Tam’s life and that is the change in the details of the death of her lover Christopher Marlowe, a fellow monster hunter and the love of her life, so with the help of friends and family, she prepares for a journey like no other to correct the timeline and stop the drastic changes it is causing.

Mafia Elite Series Box Set Volume 2 by Amy McKinley – Review by Juls Dick

Mafia Elite Box Set: Volume TwoMafia Elite Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a brilliant series and I highly recommend:

Savage Secrets is the 4th book of the series, I have read all the books in this series so far and have nothing but praise for them. In this book we finally meet the elusive Elena, who has been presumed dead for a number of years. When the threat that made her leave initially finds out that she is still alive, boss Marco is sent to retrieve her. When reunited the pair get to know each other again, without a pesky arranged marriage in the way. I really like how strong the female characters are in this series, Elena especially has her own very valuable skill set that she can use to protect those she loves.

Ruthless Heir – I think this was one of my favourites in the series so far. Each book in the series follows a member of one of the main 5 Chicago Mafia families and the nice difference in this book is that Luc doesn’t know he is part of the elite, through the mother he never knew he is the rightful heir to one of the 5 families. A successful businessman in his own right, he is surprised when he is forced to go to Chicago to discover his true heritage, taking his reluctant assistant Summer along with him. Summer is on the run from her past and doesn’t want to get involved with anything to do with the mafia but finds protection in the strangest of situations. I really liked this book, there is lots of action, strong female characters and interesting storylines.

Collateral Damage – In this book Dr Trey La Rosa is tasked with finding the kidnapped stepdaughter of a colleague, but it is not as straight forward as it may seem at first. Trey and Hailey need to work together to find out her stepfathers true intentions. I liked this book but feel it was a bit short, I would have loved more!

Rivals – This book is the story of Nico and Mia. Mia, after escaping from the clutches of her twisted family tracks down Nico for help and in return she will give him the information that he needs to take down her family. I really enjoyed this book, I loved the dynamic between the two main characters but the main thing I really like is how the men in these stories treat the women as equals, fighting side by side rather than being left at home while the guys do all the fighting. The female characters really make this series for me. Cannot wait to get my hands on the next book!

The Hunter (The Freemasons, #2)The Hunter by Nicole Flockton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book 2 in The Freemasons series. Even though it is part of a series these books can be read as a standalone which I love.
Wow where to start with this story. This is definately a book for you if you like alpha males with an equally alpha female. The chemistry between them both literally flys off the page. This is an enemies to lover romance so it is full of secrets and lies but the attraction cannot be denied.

Dominic is part of the brotherhood of the Freemasons. He has vowed to protect the brotherhood from any dangers including their secrets being revealed. What he didn’t expect was danger to come in the form of a female. Now he must do everything he can to protect the brotherhood even if that means seducing and distracting the woman investigating them. But when did trying to seduce and distract turn into an attraction he can’t deny?

Gemma is a journalist, so when her father dies in strange circumstances she goes on the hunt to discover the reason behind his death. What she doesn’t expect is Dominic trying to get in the way of her finding out the truth. And as things between them become more serious what will happen if she ever really gets to the bottom of what happened to her father. Could it be one secret and lie too many or will their connection be strong enough for to move on?

Into the Light (Moon Harbor Series Book 3) by Kate McWilliams – Review by Karyn Taylor

Into the LightInto the Light by Kate McWilliams

I dived into this book, falling in love with the characters straight away, then realised that it’s not the first book in the series…oops. Thankfully, each book can be read as a standalone but now I want to read the stories of the 2 couples who came before, who have a large secondary role in this book.
I hadn’t read any of this author’s work before so wasn’t sure what to expect. What I got was a great brother’s best friend romance that was filled with danger and drama too. Just what I needed to read on a wet weekend in Glasgow. I got totally lost in Raf and Ellie’s story.
Raf has loved Ellie for years but she’s his best friend’s little sister – a no-go area. Added to the fact that he has a past that he’s ashamed of and things he’s not good enough for her. Meanwhile Ellie has loved Raf for years but assumes he just sees her like a little sister and not the grown-up woman that she is.
This is an angst filled read that becomes spicy when the couple realise that they can’t hold back the feelings they have for each other. I really didn’t want to put this book down.
100% recommend.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Although this love story has a classic theme, there are several twists. The main characters are amazing, and the growth they show throughout the novel is phenomenal! The female protagonist learns to ask others for help, rather than always insisting on doing everything by herself or on her own. The male protagonist learns that he is worthy of love without having to do things for people. The pets are a great addition!

Wow The Victor is the first book in The Freemasons Series and is a second chance Contemporary Romance that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish.

These two both have secrets and he’s not even close to letting her go without a fight. Can these two survive the secrets and move on? Is it to late and she’s determined to move on without him?

Mafia Elite Box Set: Volume TwoMafia Elite Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This boxset contains the final 4 full length novels in the Mafia Elite Series. These are:
Savage Secrets
Ruthless Heir
Collateral Damage
Rivals

This is a fantastic boxset, each book being given a 5 star review by myself. This author is the queen of writing romantic suspense and I could lose myself in these books for hours and hours on end. I know that this boxset is one that I will read several times.

Set among the 5 mafia families in Chicago, we get the stories of the men who lead each family and the women they fall in love with, most of whom also come from among the 5 families.

The men in the mafia elite are serious alpha males who take no crap and their women who are just as stubborn and kick-ass as they are. Marco & Elena, Luc & Summer, Trey & Hailey and Nico and Mia are amazing couples, whose stories are filled with so much drama, intrigue and danger. Added to that is the amazing romance story of each couple and you get a boxset that has absolutely everything.

100% recommend this box set.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What kind of knowledge would a down and out car salesman possess? Dex’s captors thought it was important enough to abduct his whole family. After many hours of torture the abductors realize that they have nabbed the wrong guy. Now with his life and that of his family are marked for death he must find a way to free them. Will he be successful? This was a book that started out with action and never let up the whole way through. If you like books that have twists and turns and will keep you turning the pages I suggest you give this a try. This was the first book inhave read by this author and I was not disappointed. If any of his other books are anything like this one he has gained a new fan.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a unique book and a very interesting, new-to-me author! I was surprised to see how this book is set up to include the author’s notes. At first I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it but I’ve decided that I really loved it for this book. It’s great to get in the mind of the writer and see where they were going with something, or why they chose to write the scene the way they did. I really appreciate this unique angle.

Now about the book….wow!!! It grabs you from the first word and just doesn’t let go until it’s over! Dex is a regular ole car salesman, a family man. Regan, his wife is lovely and has her hands full with their two boys. They find themselves abducted and in a weird place, enduring all sorts of torture until they can escape. Or have they really escaped?

This ones got some pretty cool nuggets in it and I think they enhance the story even more. I look forward to reading more of this author’s work!

Defying Ella (True Platinum Series Book 4) by Morgana Bevan – Review by Beverly Finnie

Defying EllaDefying Ella by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Defying Ella hit close to home in some ways. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not the musician and fame aspect but the relationship dynamic. I’ve had a similar dynamic with my husband at the beginning. If we were snowed in, in the Alps there would’ve been a similar situation between us early on. The author put together a well written relatable story. One where you feel you could be a part of. Ella and Jared are an adverse pair. They care for one another but would never admit it. They go toe to toe often. Everyone around them feels like they hate each other. They don’t know everything. They don’t know the history. Getting away from him is just what Ella needs. Unfortunately for her he shows up unexpectedly. They both unexpectedly booked the same time at the lodge. Well little did they know they would get stuck together unable to go anywhere. Forcing them to face the music. Will it all come out? Will they deal with what’s between them? The roller coaster between these two is crazy. And I absolutely love what the author has done. I love the story being told. I completely understand and sympathize with both characters’ feelings. I started with book 4, though part of a series is very much a standalone. I want more from this author. I’m now going to go back and read books 1-3, then this one again. Now is your chance to discover a new author or to continue what I can tell is a great series just by this book.

A great read! I really enjoyed Ellie and Raf’s story and this story by a new to me author.

This was a quick, easy read. Ellie, the younger sister of Raf’s best friend, is in the midst of great loss but determined and kind and secretly crushing on Raf. Raf wrought with his own demons and feeling as though he brings bad luck to those around him, likes Ellie but is determined to stay away, but can he really?

I enjoyed the character and story development and the story stood on its own well. The author did a wonderful job creating tension within the story, keeping the reader turning the pages. I throughly enjoyed the entirety of this book and recommend it. I can’t wait to catch up on the rest of this series.

There is excellent chemistry between Georgia and Hudson. There are plenty of sweet moments as well as moments that have you laughing out loud. I loved the involvement of their pets in the story. This is a very good read and entertaining read.

“Gravediggers actually do the digging. Grave Diggers however, keep buried bodies where they belong -six feet under. ”

7th daughter to a which family is apparently an unlucky number as Makayla finds out in her first year at Grave Digger Academy.

Grave Digger academy is a fun, well paced book about a magical school and the group that gets stuck in the grave digger academy. Makayla, Cali, Frankie and Leo are all stuck in the grave diggers academy which none of them wanted or expected. They feel like they aren’t learning magic and all they want to do is transfer to a different school.

During the school year they do find there helpers which all grave diggers need. And plenty of other exciting things happen as well. This book is a great start to what is definitely be an amazing series.

More exciting things happen during the school year, like Makayla discovering her great grandmother was a necromancer (an banned form of magic) and a battle with Mr. Woolly a teacher who wants her to join the dark side and become who she was always meant to be.

Rafael Marroquin may be quiet, but there is a reason. He does not want to get close to ANYBODY, but he is still helpful if someone needs him. As long as he stays away nobody gets hurt. Ellie Walters is strong and depends on nobody. With her parents gone, she wants to travel her own journey. How will these friends get to the place they want to be? Will there be a romance for them? No Spoilers here! This author is new to me and her book could be read as a standalone. However this one was so good that I must go get book 1 and 2 in this series. This author’s writing is so clear as well as fast paced. I love the characters and even more the strong independent Ellie. Definitely a must read.

Mafia Elite Box Set: Volume TwoMafia Elite Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mafia Elite Series Box Set: Volume Two contains the last 4 books in this amazing series. What a bargain and what better way to have all 4 books available to read one straight after the other.

Savage Secrets Book 4 –

I have not read one book from this author that I have not thoroughly loved. I see Amy’s name and must get the book; it really is a no brainer. Her writing is addictive, and I am hooked. This is another explosive story for this wonderful series. The intensity and anticipation are palpable and just explodes of the pages. This author does dark mafia romance suspense like no one else. It is rife with angst and fear, violence and danger, darkness, and secrets, and lies. The complex threads that Amy weaves her stories, and her characters keeps you coming back for more. You will be riveted to the pages and find that hours have passed by the time you manage to pull yourself away.

She thought she had more time but now she is once again in the fight for her life.

Ruthless Heir Book 5 –

I am in love with this mafia romance series. Amy just keeps surprising me and when I think she can’t do any better she does. She always ups the ante with each book. You need to read the books in order, or you are missing out on sooooooooo much.
This book has it all making it a great romantic suspense story, with plenty of action and danger, violence and intrigue, murder and drama, secrets and lies, and let’s not forget the amazing sizzle factor and off the chart’s chemistry. I almost feel like I have run a marathon after reading this as. There are surprises around every corner, tension runs high, and the suspense is palpable.
This is Luc and Summer’s story, and they are great characters. They are complex and fully developed and oh so loveable.
I am not going to share anything because Amy’s gems need to be discovered all on their own.

Collateral Damage Book 6 –

I jumped for joy when I saw this next book in the Mafia Elite series and made sure to snatch it up immediately. Amy is one of my fav authors and there are not many books of hers that I have not read. I love her writing and she never lets me down. It is dark and gripping, intense and enthralling, suspenseful and thrilling, steamy and exciting. I really enjoy the unpredictability of not knowing what comes next, of always being on my toes and it is never what I expect.
Still reeling from a loss so deep Trey was not in a good place when they crossed paths. Now she is in danger. He knows he can’t leave her there; he has to help her but in doing so puts him in danger to.
Make sure you start this series from the beginning now: you won’t be disappointed.

Rivals Book 7 –

Nobody does a Mafia romance suspense like Amy does. It’s a no-brainer when I see Amy has a new book. Click and grab and I lose myself in her dark and delicious stories. Rivals is the seventh book in this amazing series. Make sure you start at book one and work your way through.
Amy’s writing is captivating, engrossing, and intriguing. This gripping new book has revenge, action, suspense and thrills from beginning to end. It is full of drama, violence, mystery, intrigue, danger, twists and plenty of heart pounding palpable moments. I was on the edge of my seat the whilst devouring page after page. I needed to know what was happening.
He is brutal, deliciously dark, and broken with an impenetrable heart.
She is the enemy. She is sleek and sexy with a body that is seductive sin.
Together they are explosive and positively sinful.

You never go wrong when reading a book in this Mafia Elite series written by Amy.

River Witch was a good and very well written book!

Hester knows that she is different but nothing will stand in the way of her destiny. You’ll see her grow and go through all of the trials, tribulations, and sacrifices that she must live with. In the end, family does matter.

I did find the book to be a slow read up until about the middle, but in all honesty, it was written very well and I would recommend.

The story of a second chance.

Have you ever read a book where you crave to be the main character? Despite all the hardships, and every mountain that character climbs? 

That is this book for me! Hands down, so amazing! I’m writing a review, yet I cannot put to words how much I absolutely LOVE this book!

Thank you Anise Storm and Taylor L. Ray for writing such an amazing book, that I read through the night! 

 

“Evelyn, when I was left to drown underwater, you were the air that kept me breathing. It has always been you, and it will only ever be you.”

Who doesn’t want to be told this? To have this kind of love, compassion, and unending protection!

 

Let’s not forget about the steam! My oh my, did Storm and Ray know how to write these scenes! Warning: do not read in extreme heat or around other people, haha.

 

Overall such a great book, and I can’t wait to read more of these authors books! 

Breathe Underwater by Anise Storm & Taylor L. Ray – Review by Shea Gilkerson

Breathe UnderwaterBreathe Underwater by Anise Storm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Action, romance, danger, second chances, chemistry, heat, lots and lots of info to take in – I do feel like several aspects of the story were rushed to stay on the main story of the “go away, no come back” aspect of this book. There are certain points where you just feel embarrassed for Evelyn not taking no for an answer, or plain angry at Damian for being so dang mean to her to try to push her away and keep her safe. It is troublesome when the relationship ended and no one talked about what really happened or that Damian is looking at some form of relationship with Evie and can’t even tell her about his real life or potential dangers.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the main basis of the story and the passion involved between Damian and Evie – that staircase scene, though! Hot hot hot. I enjoy second chance romances where you see the characters evolve but know they missed something – coming back together as adults with life experience, memories, passion…I love it. There were some really great background characters I’d love to see more of in future novels, if that happens. I enjoy Anise Storm books and her writing, the other author is new for me and I am not 100% on which is which. I do feel making this book more than 1 in a series with some extra fleshing out of background plots or characters taking more of the focus, but I enjoyed the book and will read another if they continue with it.

I wasn’t really sure about this one. But page 1 sucks you right in! The details are absolutely stunning. You have Ravenna who is trying to rescue her lover. You have Dravos who is trying to commute his current sentence. Dravos wants Ravenna, but how since she loves another? I haven’t been able to put this book down. I cannot wait to get more of this series!!

Boss’s Vendetta (Sicilian Gods Book 1) by Via Mari – Review by M Policicchio

Boss's Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance (Sicilian Gods Book 1)Boss’s Vendetta: Dark Mafia Romance by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author knows how to begin a series. You make the characters strong and relatable. You throw in some mafia rules and regulations, some guns, some lies and deception, a little violence, a whole lot of steam, and then you kill off all your enemies. Well, maybe not all….I mean, can you ever truly kill off ALL of your enemies in a mafia series??

Adrianna is a complicated woman. A doctor, a woman out for revenge, a daughter, an orphan, a woman seeking answers. All her life she was told that her father was killed by the Larussio family before her birth. Her mother never revealed her father’s name. After years of studying to become a doctor and plotting to get the revenge she seeks, Adrianna takes a job as an in-house doctor for the Larussio’s new casino in Las Vegas. She hopes this will let her get close enough to get the answers she is so desperate for but will it lead to more?

Salvatore is thrust into the position of next in line due to his older brothers taking other roles. He is the right man for the job but some feel that he doesn’t deserve and hasn’t earned it. And those are just his cousins. As Salvatore starts to fight the enemies within, he finds that they are linked to the enemies outside the family. What he didn’t need at this moment was a distraction, a weakness for his enemies to exploit but that is exactly what Adrianna, the new doctor, has become to him. How does he manage to keep the woman that he has been waiting his entire life for and his family safe when she might be the one they need protecting from?

There was so much in this book. So much good stuff, stuff that will keep you coming back for the next one in the series, so much that will make you fall for the dark prince. So glad that I found this series!! It is fantastic!!!!

Mafia Elite Box Set: Volume TwoMafia Elite Box Set: Volume Two by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you haven’t picked a family yet, these will can only help you decide. This concluding box set is fantastic. It will pull you through all the feels. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. It will make you deliciously squirm. This series is ah-maze-zing from beginning to end. Order this box set, clear your calendar and be wonderfully tortured with every page.
