Raine Down (The Shadow Guardians, #1)Raine Down by C.B. Samet
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a fabulous beginning to a fast paced, action packed, paranormal/supernatural series. We meet Raine an intelligent, strong willed, butt kicking heroine with supernatural powers. Then we have Will, a hard-working, open-minded FBI agent who has to learn how to work with a partner, while searching for a serial killer. I loved how the story started right in the action and kept the pacing throughout the whole narrative. I love mythology, and while my Norse Mythology isn’t as sharp, it was done in a way that even a lay person would enjoy it, especially if they, like Will, watch Marvel movies. From the moment they meet, Raine and Will’s chemistry is off the charts and it was a delight seeing them grow together, while still keeping the story moving at lightening pace as they work to stop a killer. I couldn’t put this book down and I can’t wait for the next one!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a good read! It was a little more science fiction than I was expecting, I was hoping for more fantasy but it was still really good. I think though, that the sci-fi threw me off, because I had trouble staying focused and concentrated on the story, and found myself zoning out a lot. That’s more on me, and I don’t think ibwas in the mood to read sci-fi, because the story was really good! It had a really interesting plot and went pretty fast. I just wasn’t in the mood to read that type of book, so I would love to go back when I am in the mood and see how much better I like it when I’m anticipating it!

Devlin: A Forbidden Office Romance by Angela K. Parker

This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author. Devlin is a great read. Office romances have always held a place in my heart, but this book makes the top of my list.

Devlin is a womanizer. Well that’s how he likes to make himself look like, but in reality he would like to settle down. He just hasn’t found the right woman. That’s until Evelyn walked in his life. Now that he’s had her in his bed he wants nothing but to make her his. The quote I chose for Devlin is: “But you could borrow them for thirty minutes to an hour. I’m sure Sawyer wouldn’t mind. I do enjoy the feel of satin caressing my skin.”

Evelyn just got out of a relationship and doesn’t want another one. Or does she? She hates that she wants him. That one night isn’t going to be enough for her. Will they make it? The quote I chose for Evelyn is: “There’s never a dull moment. Devlin has kept me on my toes from the moment we met. Challenge has been our strongest suit. I guess you could say we make a great team.”

Highly recommended for New Adult Romance lovers.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Borrowed Time is the first book I have read by this author. I was taken in by the blurb about time travel and historical fiction, and I was not disappointed. I have always enjoyed The Time Machine and the movies based on the book. It was great to think of the time travel machine differently. The story combines the Wild West, science fiction, historical fiction, suspense, and more. I want to keep the plot a secret because I think this is best enjoyed going in with less information. The characters are exciting and helped to draw me into this adventure more. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

And Then She FellAnd Then She Fell by Dreena Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

From the very beginning of the book I could tell I would be hooked, and I wasn’t wrong. I understood on a deep level from the start of the book the grief of Catherine Keely, who spends the book trying to better understand her daughter’s death. As someone who is not a mother, I finished the book with a better understanding of how far a mom will go to protect and support their children, as Catherine proves time and again while investigating.

This is by far one of the best psychological thrillers that I have ever read, as it kept me changing my mind as to what actually happened very frequently. It didn’t take me long to reach the end of the book, which ended in a way I was not expecting in the slightest. This is the first book that I have read by the author but it certainly will not be the last!

The KidnappingThe Kidnapping by Linda Burson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Kidnapping is a suspenseful book by Linda Burson. What happens when you are so wealthy that you do not know whom you can trust? Jenna meets Andy under unusual circumstances and quickly learns whom she can trust or can’t. The story is a romantic suspense that has a few unexpected twists and turns. I enjoyed watching how Jenna and Andy learn to trust one another. Their tension gets a bit intense but then turns into something entirely different. The story is well thought out and focuses on several characters. I will not give clues about the plot because I don’t want to wreck the story for anyone. If you like romance and suspense pick up this book. I look forward to reading more from this author soon.

This is another fun and romantic story by an author who consistently delivers on great books each and every time. I really enjoyed the whole feel of this book. It was fun, light-hearted and such an easy book to read. All the characters added something to the story and it was great to see such a mix.
This author is one that I always enjoy and this book is a great example of why. For anyone who is a fan of the romance genre I would urge them to read anything she writes.

Kiss Away Your Pain (Wounded Hearts, #2)Kiss Away Your Pain by Debbie Cromack
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was looking forward to reading this book after reading the first in the series. This book was just as good as the first and I really enjoyed the chemistry between the characters. It was instant and believable. They are the kind of characters that you can really get behind and want to find a way to happiness.
This author really knows how to write a story that builds as the book goes on. It is a slower pace than a lot of books but I think that helps to add to the story. It allows you to get to know the characters more and become invested in their story. I am looking forward to what this author produces next and I will definitely be reading it.

I have read a few of this author’s books and this was a good start to a new series. I was quite impressed with the story line and how the book progressed. I felt that the author brought the characters to life and I really felt as though I was in the midst of the action.

The characters a very unique as is the plot. I like how the story all be it short had enough backstory and enough filler that it really brought everything together. I like how the chemistry is between the lead and his mate. I really am very impressed with the way the author’s writing style empowers the characters and draws in the reader. I look forward to reading more from this series and author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This romantic suspense had an original and intriguing storyline which had me hooked from the start. I was kept gripped by this story as it was full of twists and turns, which made it impossible to predict the outcome for the characters. Andy and Jenna are strangers until they meet due to a kidnapping plan. Andy is mistakenly given instructions and money for a kidnapping, by would be kidnappers, Steven and his unknown cohorts. Finding himself in this unusual predicament Andy decides to find the potential victim, Jenna, to alert her. However, his plan of just finding her and telling her goes awry when he meets Jenna, and instantly feels a connection to her. As he becomes infatuated with her, Jenna must decide what to do with this worrying information, and whether she can trust Andy. I loved the main characters, Andy and Jenna and how their relationship changed and developed throughout the story, it was a real slow burn romance. The plot was full of drama, suspense, and of course romance, but it also had humour, all of which made this a real page turner of a novel.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The story really swept you away at the very part of the reading! I was pulled in with the plot, the characters, as well as the enchanting stories that come together and made this beautiful book!

Raine and Will were amazing characters. Both are different minded, but still strong separate, but even more stronger even when they were together. Both were compelling characters with strong characteristics! Loved the paranormal aspect of the story, the danger, the action, etc. Sometimes what haunts our nightmares or is looming in the shadows or the darkness is not that far from home, I loved how I read this book, I questioned things I take for granted every day with thoughts, The story was exciting and sensational! Loved it!

I loved this book so much! I am very much in anticipation for the next novel! The book was a must read for me, and I know for so others as well Highly recommend this enchanting book as well as the author!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The blurb for this book of poetry says, “Do yourself a favour: buy this, curl up in your favourite chair and read it, knowing you will come away refreshed”, and I would definitely recommend doing just that! I’m new to this author and her poetry, but I will be looking out for her again in the future, as I was hooked from poem to poem. I was surprised at how relatable each poem was, and how they spoke to me, making me feel immersed in them and also how engaged with the author I felt. Some of the poems I responded to more than others, and I was taken on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading them. My favourite poems were, ‘Awakening’ and ‘Sunrise’, the poem, ‘Refuge’, seemed particularly relevant with the war in Ukraine and the number of people seeking safety elsewhere. ‘A Shaft of Light’ and ‘Surrender’ were particularly emotional for me, as was ‘Down but Not Out’. I loved the ‘Recipe For Life’ at the end of the book, which left me with a feeling of hope and inspiration as I closed this book of poetry.

Malayeka (Heartstrings Book 3) by Brooke May. This has been such a fun series. They can be read as standalone but I’ve enjoyed reading them in order. This one is about Malayeka who is doing her cupid duties and she is trying hard not to screw this job up. She is trying to hook up Billie and Leo but their families hate each other and they aren’t took keen on one another. The cast of characters is wild, you have rednecks coming from out of the hills and you have a more refined family that is the main characters. Malayeka has such a good heart and tries so hard to do the right thing but people don’t always cooperate. This is a laugh out loud story that will keep you turning pages late in the night. I have loved this series and can’t wait for the next!

The VeilThe Veil by Wanda Luthman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Samuel completed his Jewish ceremony to become a man. As he reads from the scroll of Isaiah his is prayerful that Yahweh will use him. A Priest picks him to accompany him home and to learn about serving in the Temple. As he starts to learn the pattern of his days, it quickly changes when the man named Jesus is crucified. Could the prophecy that he read at his ceremony possibly be coming true?

I enjoyed this fictional writing as to what might have taken place the day of Christ’s crucifixion. This is a quick read that is appropriate for families. It could be used for good conversation starters with kids about what they think might have happened and how they would have responded if they were the ones in Samuel’s place. Highly recommend this book.

5*

This was such a good book with a very unique plot line. I have to say that it had so many twists and turns that I did not see coming. I truly enjoyed the character of Jenna and I felt that she was very well developed. The author did a great job explaining why Jenna is leary of trusting people and is even more distraught to discover she might have been duped again.
I think Andy was an even better character. I loved the amount of depth there was to him. I also loved how he always was trying his best to do the right thing.
Jenna and Andy’s circumstances were less than ideal but their banter was something I truly loved. I definitely loved this book and read it in less than one day. I didn’t like whenever I had to put it down. It was one that you will want to keep reading to find out what will happen next.
I definitely recommend this book!

I could not help myself other than to love this book by such a wonderful author! I swear every book that this author creates and writes, sucks me in completely! I felt so much happy feelings as I read this book!

As Cupid, and with mistakes and mis haps, I really loved Malayeka! She had tried and caused her explosions in past jobs she was assigned. She had a good heart, and always tried her best! Though, her methods proved otherwise. I love this quirky book. It was a literal laugh out loud book with a lot of love. Loved the characters Billie and Leo. Great character development, and I loved even though when odds are against you, you keep trying even though you may tumble and fall! Loved this rom com full of heart!

I love this author always, but this book alone made my heart so very happy. It pulled me in right from the start, and held me all the way through! Highly recommend this must read book and author!

The Fifth Daughter of Thorn RanchThe Fifth Daughter of Thorn Ranch by Julia Brewer Daily
My rating: 4 out of 5 stars

I thought I would try a different novel than the ones I have been reading recently, and I’m glad I did! The author does a beautiful job of describing the feel and looks of Texas! We see this through Emma’s love for her state is how many people in Texas feel and its own unique beauty. We follow Emma through significant life decisions at The Thorn and how she handles them; which is like all Rosales women before her: head on! However, not all things can be dealt with this way which leads our heroine to take several missteps. The familial connection is one of my favorite things in the story as well as Emma’s grit in harrowing situations. (Texan women to the core!) Though the only thing that was a little underwhelming was the ending. I was hoping for a more explanation of the outcome. I truly enjoyed this book; otherwise, if you want to explore Texas and its culture, I recommend it!

DevlinDevlin by Angela K. Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Devlin: A Forbidden Office Romance was a great enemy to lovers read. Eve and Devlin are coworkers at a toy company. Eve is an independent, hard-working woman who will not let herself be wooed by Devlin’s charm. Devlin has always been attracted to Eve but understood not to mess business with pleasure. That was until he heard she broke up with her long-term boyfriend and saw his chance. Eve is not having that since Devlin is known as the bachelor with no hopes for anything but a physical relationship. What the two of them don’t realize is that the sexual chemistry just couldn’t be denied. Devlin starts to realize he can no longer deny his feelings and can’t believe that Eve made her way into his heart. There is a problem however, Devlin has kept a pretty big secret that could destroy everything, along with the fact that he is going to also be her boss. Can they keep their relationship a “dirty little secret” to save their jobs and their hearts?
I always enjoy a good enemy-to-lovers story. Both characters were very enjoyable and engaged in a no-bullshit type of way. The banter and progression of their story were romantic, realistic, and sexy. I thought Eve portrayed a character that was relatable and confident. She didn’t let Devlin in without him knowing what she wanted and didn’t. Devlin also had a way of “handling” her, he was portrayed as a confident, but not narcissistic man which came across the page as very sexy. The ending left me feeling meh. I love that it progressed to where it did, however, I feel we went from one feeling to something way beyond that. I liked that there was an epilogue but I almost wished I found out a little more about where they go.

I really enjoyed this romantic Suspense story. The author does an amazing job with the characters and the humour and connection between them is great. I loved how they seem to be opposites but both have insecurities and worries about the other person and what they will think. Watching the characters blossom and slowly learn to trust was a beautiful thing.

This a definately a chance romance. When Andy is sitting at a bar and get handed an envelope of cash and a letter for containing instructions to kidnap a woman.
Knowing this wasn’t meant for him Andy decides to find the woman and warn her. What follows is a journey as two strangers need to learn how to trust one another while at the same time saving themselves from danger.

However it’s not that simple. Jenna is a strong independent woman who doesn’t trust easily. Everyone she knows is just after her money so when she finds herself falling for a stranger she needs to work out if its really her that he wants or her money.

This is a entertaining story with a kidnap plot that makes you laugh. The twists and turns keep you gripped as Andy and Jenna navigate their situation and budding romance.

Can they work together to solve the strange things going on that seem to point to the past that is still haunting so many. This book is pretty intense so be warned if you are easily triggered.
