Nick is determined to get back to normal but his old soulmate is still stuck in Venice. Will Nick and Julia be able to get out and go back to normal?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was such an entertaining childrens book which was beautifully written and illustrated. Amaleigha was such an adorable little girl and I loved the story about her and her wonderful imagination and ideas, I could easily see children being inspired by this book. I love the idea of a barefoot park as well! Amaleigha had some wonderful ideas in this story and I can see it definitely bringing up some questions for children about the thigs they would like to experience.

Beast (Popov Bratva #5)Beast by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 5 in the Popov Bratva series. And wow this series keeps getting better with every book. I have loved everyone. The author does an amazing job with the characters giving the reader and insight into a Mafia family while also making them realistic. This story is a romance but it is full of danger and heartbreak as well.

Adrik (Beast) has a past that has scared him in a physical way as well as emotional. His upbringing was hard and because of the scars on his face he is used to people staring at him. After his upbringing he joins the Bratva to find a purpose and something he didn’t expect to find, a family.

After working for the Bratva for a few years he meets a woman that takes his breath away Annika. However he is too scared he would scare her so he keeps his distance and doesn’t show his face.

Annika has had trauma in her past as well the most recent indecent was when she was attacked and stabbed by an unknown person. While she recovers she has seen Beast around and has felt a connection and an attraction she can’t explain.

When the stalker returns and threatens Annika’s life again she is told to leave for her own safety, taking just 2 guards for protection. When she chooses Beast she sees it as a chance to finally get to know this mysterious man while Beast is going to do everything in his power to protect her from danger but also from the shock of seeing his scares.

This book is full of romance but also a great deal of danger. Your heart bleeds for both Beast and Annika for the past they have had and for the things they are still going through and dealing with. Can two Wounded people heal each other? Or will Annika be repulsed like so many others by the scars left on Beast?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you are looking for a friends-to-lovers, billionaire, forced-proximity, steamy, romantic read then look no further…this is the book for you. I absolutely loved this read. This is the second book in the series, but it can definitely be read as a standalone. The chemistry between Royce and Michelle is sizzling and the spice level is *chef’s kiss*. This was a quick read for me and I was hooked from the first chapter. I’m looking forward to the third installment in this series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I didn’t realize that this was the third book in the series, but that never stops me from reading a book. And honestly, I was excited that I did keep reading without reading the first books, because this book was amazing without them. it can be read as a stand-alone book in the series. I wish I could comment on the other two books to say whether this one was just as good and you don’t want to miss reading the others, but sadly at this moment I cannot. I do feel if I had the chance to read the first two, I would have a deeper in depth on the characters, and who they are as a person. But this book was gripping and exciting on its own. This thriller of a story had me gripping the edge of my seat, it opened the door up of what the main character had gone thou in his past, the telling of these stories was compelling, and I wanted more. Going from past to present was very easy to follow and I didn’t feel like I was missing anything when it would switch back and forth. I really enjoyed this book; I really can’t wait to see if there will be more with this series.

Gunner (A Hollins & Haring Book) by T.J. Beach. This is the 3rd book in the Holliins & Haring Series and I loved it just as much as the other two. This one can be read as a standalone but I really like to read them in order. This one is about the 2020 COVID pandemic and PTSD. The story is about Gary & Debbie. Debbie is Gary’s new boss in a Private Investigator’s office. Debbie and Gary have become super close even with the whole family so when Debbie’s mom contracts COVID they all have to quarantine together. During this time Debbie finds more and more out about Gary who seems so secretive. Matt is Debbie’s husband but he is forced to quarantine away from the family. When Gary finally gets comfortable he tells Debbie about some of his past and it is ALOT! Dealing with all kinds of trauma from his job and he thinks if he tells Debbie it will take her mind off of being worried about her mom and being away from her husband! This is a great story that will really hit home for a lot of people. I read it very fast.

This book is such a wonderful story that really feels like it is full of magic. It will appeal to such a wide audience and has the ability to connect with each and every person that picks it up. It is sweet and  well written, one of those books that I found to be just a joy.

I loved reading this story. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first book as it is just as great as the first. This is an author that I never hesitate to pick up. Her books are well written and her writing skills bring each story to life. This book is no different. The characters pulled me in from the start. I found them to be connectable and had me coming back for more. The author’s use of details made me feel as if I was part of their world. This is a fast paced, engaging story that is hard to put down. A story you don’t want to miss, a must read. There is great growth throughout the story of the plot which made the story easy to read. I really enjoyed reading this book. I highly recommend this book and this author.

Gary has a past, but Debbie does not know all the details of it. While Gary is visiting Debbie and her family, they find out that Debbie’s mom has been exposed to the Coronavirus. Unfortunately, her mom tests positive, and everyone else is negative. Debbie’s mom leaves them all to quarantine together to keep them safe. When her mom takes a turn for the worse, Gary decides to distract Debbie by telling her his story of how he came to be in Australia working with her. As she learns his truth, can she look at him the same? Can she still trust him? Will her mom pull through so she can say all the things that are left to say?

This was a quite a read. The author did a fantastic job of intertwining the two stories together. The characters were realistic and relatable. I could feel their emotions as they were going through their separate struggles. The end of the book leaves you wanting to know more about what happens next because while it is somewhat a closed story of Gary, he opens up part of his past in the end. I look forward to finding out what transpires next!

Faida (Heartstrings Book 2) by Brooke May – Review by Tia Martel

FaidaFaida by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The idea of Cupid using arrows is just a myth. He has help. Faida is one of the six assistant cupids. She’s been doing this job for forever and after too many jaded love stories she’s over love. It’s kinda hard for a Cupid to be done with love so on to the next assignment she goes.

Robert Peters has been hurt by past love and has sworn off all women, except for his daughter. Will Faida be able to soothe her own hurt in order to help Robert find his true love?

This was adorable! Faida realizing she needs to find out what love is really about grabs your heartstrings if you’ve ever been hurt before. I felt this book flowed nicely and was a great read. It’s obvious the author has reached a strong groove in the storyline of these cupids in this book.

I enjoyed reading this and how we see a limitation in the cupids powers to hide from children. This one was less confusing and I found it to be more entertaining as a result. There were still a few errors that could use some ironing out, but nothing that wasn’t a complete turn off from the book.

AikoAiko by Brooke May
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cupid doesn’t work alone. He has six assistants and Aiko is just one of them. Buuut Aiko is a little rough to say the least. Her helping couples find love has lead to some very questionable situations and once or twice she’s been banned from helping humans. Now, for her first return to helping in nearly 50 years, she’s gotta help a man who may be more disastrous in love than she is.

Alejandro Gomez has it all when it comes to looks, but when it comes to love? He’s a mess. Can Aiko help Alejandro find himself and find love?

I loved the idea of this book. A Cupid helping humans find love: great. A Clumsy, tried-too-hard Cupid aiming for redemption: awesome. Unfortunately, the book didn’t hit all of the points I was hoping for.

I found the start of the book to be hard to follow when Aiko was narrating and commenting on Alejandro’s disaster. This cleared up some as the book went on and the author found a rhythm in the story she’s telling.

In other areas, I felt that there were several mistakes in editing that lead to me needing to re-read or spend a little more time on the section to determine what was being said.

Throughout the book there were some really good parts and Aiko was a great character and you could really feel for her when something went wrong. I feel that the errors and beginning of the book really made it hard for me to follow at first, but I’m willing to try again with hook 2 of the cupids.

Malayeka (Heartstrings Book 3)Malayeka by Brooke May
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cupid can’t do it all. So while he’s busy, his six assistants are helping humans find true love. Malayeka is one of those assistants.

Two centuries ago Malayeka helped a family and today the repercussions are still stinging the small village clans. Malayeka is certain she can still complete this assignment and is determined to help her charge find love. But when the Reids and Thomsons feud is in front of her, she’s even more determined to help straighten things out.

A divided town, fighting families, and a love that is reminiscent of Shakespeare? What else could go wrong?

Book 3 was charming and quaint and very relatable when it comes to the love of sugar and sweets. In this book, Malayeka is given an assignment similar to one she’s had before, and even in the same town.

Our star crossed lovers are Billie and Leo. Two sides of a feuding town, and secret friends since childhood. It’s obvious there’s more to the story almost immediately and Malayeka is determined to not let history repeat and to help clean up a mess this towns been fighting for centuries.

This was a fun, entertaining read with a few mistakes throughout but enjoyable nonetheless. There were hints mentioned throughout that make me hope for more books. I mean with six assistants we have to have at least six books, right? But please tell me we will hear more about the hints throughout!

A unique idea with well known storylines has worked well so far, and I will be watching for more.

This is another fun-loving comedic romance that reads pretty quickly. I’m finding this series to be going well and I look forward to reading more!

Aiko is quite possibly the worst choice Cupid could have made in an assistant. He needs some help though and Aiko is looking to make up for some past wrongs. When she runs into Alejandro, she has a newfound determination to do right for once. After all, she’s been eyeing him lately anyway.

This is a lighthearted, clean romantic comedy that is a bit of a welcome relief after some heavy reading and things that have been going on in my life. This is also a new-to-me author but not for long as I’m looking forward to reading more of her work in this series.

Beast (Popov Bratva #5)Beast by Leslie Georgeson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

5 Stars

 

Beast is the fifth book in the Popov Bratva series by Leslie Georgeson. I love this series so much, and it just seems to get better with each new instalment. Book #5 has proven to be another feather in Ms. Georgeson’s cap- another fantastic Bratva romance- a bit of an intense and emotional romantic suspense with lots of action, dramatic developments, tension, danger, intrigue, secret crushes, forbidden romance, scarred MC, sweet fMC, heart-wrenching details, chemistry, sizzle, endearing & interesting characters, mafia politics, and violence.
I loved Adrik (Beast) when I first met him in the previous instalment, even though he was just a supporting character. I knew there was so much more to him than what we were shown/told, and I wanted to know ALL the details—- so I was thrilled to find he was getting his own book.
What an emotional and heart-wrenching story he has to tell, my heart ached for what he had gone through. He and Anika are so sweet together, but these two have harboured secret crushes for quite some time, and being his boss’s daughter, and a Bratva princess, theirs is a forbidden romance. So that definitely throws some angst and drama into the mix. Add in the stalker element, danger, and drama- and things take an intense turn. Ms. Georgeson doesn’t make things too easy for them, making them work for any happiness and their chance for a HEA.
I highly recommend this addictive series. Each book could be read as a standalone, but, like me, you will probably find that one book isn’t enough and will end up binge reading the entire series….

The series consists of:
-Freak (Book One) ….. Zeke and Mia’s story
-Snitch (Book Two) ….. Sacha and Willow’s story
-Thug (Book Three) ….. Lev and Siena’s story
-Thief (Book Four) ….. Dom and Leah’s story (Dom is Lev’s twin brother)
-Beast (Book Five) ….. Adrik and Annika’s story (due for release in Oct 2022)
-Punk (Book Six) ….. due to release in March 2023

Happy reading!

Thank you, Leslie Georgeson!

5 Stars!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love this series and book 2 definitely did not disappoint!! I recommend reading this series in order as some of the storyline from book 1 is addressed in many ways in book 2.

I love meeting Michelle and Royce…..Michelle is a no holds barred travel blogger that is now taking her life in her hands with no one to dictate how she should live her life…..Royce is owner of his own companies and totally super smart…definitely science smarts…but when it comes to love and relationships he hold them from a distance. When Michelle runs into Royce in Iceland they realize they have mutual friends between them. Michelle and Royce knew each other from long ago….but now their attraction toward each other is totally scotching off the charts!!

When strange things start happening at Royce’s businesses….murder and accidents that are not explained…someone from his past is out to get revenge. When the revenge goes to far and also impacts Michelle…Royce will do everything in his power to keep Michelle safe…

This book had it all!! Hot sizzling moments, murder, intrigue, action and some mind blowing twists I did not see coming. I am totally enjoying this series and I am looking forward to seeing more to come for our WaterFyre Rising family!

The Daredevil is the second book in the WaterFyre Rising series by Nadia Han. It is a intriguing friends-to-lovers/billionaire romance. It’s a great addition to the series- a romantic suspense with plenty of intrigue, danger, mystery, tension, secrets, sensitive/trigger issues, chemistry, drama, and sizzle.
I do love this series, but it did take me a beat or two to connect with the characters and become invested in their story. I felt like the story was a little slow to get going, even though there were some ‘tense’ moments- and some of the dialogue at the beginning felt a little stiff. Then as the story progressed and the pace picked up, there seemed to be moments where the story slowed and dragged, before picking up again. But the sizzle, drama, and suspense made up for it in the end, so it didn’t detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the story.
Looking forward to seeing what ‘The Innovator’ (Book #3) has in store for us (due to release in March 2023).
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Nadia Han!

This was my first read in this series and I wasn’t lost. This book was a quick read, and could pose as a stand alone. At times I felt like I was reading a romance about high schoolers and not adults. The way situations were handled and reacted to, didn’t match the character’s ages in my opinion. It’s a cute romance, but I wish the main characters were more mature.

Beast (a secret crush Mafia romantic suspense) (Popov Bratva Book 5)

I was so excited the Adrik got his own story. I have only read Dominik’s story so far but there was something very endearing about Adrik. As soon as I saw this was coming I knew I had to read it ASAP and I have no regrets.

Adrick has quiet the interesting back story which only made me like him more. His determination to make something of himself was admirable.

Annika is not the typical Princess, so someone coming for her made no sense. She simply wants to live as simple of a life as possible.

I was on the edge of my seat as I turned pages and may have lost track of time reading when I should have been doing other things like working.

I need to slow like down a bit so I can go back and read the others before the next book is released.

Painter of the Damned is not the typical genre that I read. I was pleasantly surprised about how much I enjoyed the book. This is the second book in Rob Samborn’s series Painted Souls. I could not put this book down for fear of missing some amazing action. Samborn takes the reader on an action-packed adventure set in 1589 AD. Painter of the Damned includes historical aspects that draw the reader further into the story. If you are looking for a great action-packed adventure, look no further! I promise you will not regret reading the Painted Souls series.

Painter of the Damned is the second book in the Painted Souls series. The series should be read in order for a proper understanding. In this continuation, Nick continues on his mission to attempt to rescue the souls which have been imprisoned in the painting Paradise. Nick makes a deeper connection with his past life Angelo, and all Angelo wants is to be reunited with his love, Isabella, who is in Paradise. Julia, Nick’s wife struggles with accepting what seems like something that can be real, but is actually happening. Della Porta is busy with his mission to advance the Order’s power to become a world religion. Will Nick accomplish his goal, or will Della Porta continue imprisoning more people for eternity with the help of the new painter, his nephew, Carlo? This story balances a good amount of angst with excellent world building. I’m looking forward to reading the third book already!
