Revenge Never Rests
By: Laurie Lewis

This book is the second book in the Tallie Brown series. I never read the first book before stumbling upon this book and I will say that it pretty much works as a standalone. I do highly recommend reading the first book first, only because there is a lot of backstory needed that made the first portion of the book hard for me to follow. However, once I got a grasp on the characters and their backstory, I found the book absolutely impossible to put down. As a character, I really liked Tallie. Her back story was hard to relate to at first, but she is such an interesting and complex character that I found it impossible not to root for her. I don’t want to give too much information because anything else will spoil it. Pay close attention when reading this because there are so many clues hidden throughout this book. It definitely hooked me and didn’t let me go until the next page. I can’t wait to continue reading more about these characters in upcoming books!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first book by this author which I enjoyed reading. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future. This is a well written story that is full of mafia romance, trust and some rules are meant to be broken. I enjoyed how the characters brought the story to life on each page. They pulled me into their story from the start and had me coming back for more. They have great growth and chemistry throughout the story. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. It is an engaging story that you don’t want to miss. Will rules be broken? Is there a happily ever after? This is such a great story, I highly recommend this book.

Secrets Never DieSecrets Never Die by Laurie L.C. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An entertaining read, which had me gripped from start to finish. In this page turner of a novel, Tallie Brown’s life never made sense, she was brought up in isolation by her mother, Julia. Who would take her from one third-world outpost to another, suddenly and without explanation. Life normalised for Tallie when her mother took a position on a mountaintop in the Pacific northwest. However, when Julia unexpectedly dies, Tallie soon discovers that her mother had a secret life. Meanwhile, Journalist Jackson James’s promising career ended, resulting in him working as the editor of a community rag in a posh D.C. suburb. When a lead about a potential scandal takes him to the dying Virginia coal town, Cutler’s Ridge, he meets a mysterious and beautiful woman, Tallie.
Both Tallie and Jackson are loners and do not trust easily, but as their stories become intertwined they come to the conclusion that something terrible happened in Cutler’s Ridge. There are those in the town who want the past to stay hidden, and the couple are soon threatened putting them in danger. This was a fast paced story with great characters, an atmospheric small town setting, and a storyline full of drama and suspense. The likeable and relatable Tallie was a great main character, and I liked how her relationship with Jackson developed throughout the story. The descriptive narrative brought the setting vividly to life and made me feel immersed in the storyline. An enjoyable and engaging read, which I definitely recommend.

This is the second book by this author that I have read. I enjoyed this one just as much as the first one I read. This is a well written story that is full of romance and suspense. A story that is fast paced and hard to put down. He is a protector in the shadows until she is more curious and gets closer to him. There is great growth both in the plot and character throughout the story. Their chemistry is off the charts which made the story easy and entertaining to read. I enjoyed how they pulled me into their world with ease. They made me feel as if I was part of their story. The suspense had me turning pages fast just to see what would happen next with them. This is a really great story and I highly recommend it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and entertaining novel, which had me hooked from start to finish. Having read book one and been introduced to the main character, Tallie Brown, I was looking forward to continuing her story, and I was not disappointed. This second novel picks up where the previous one ended, so I would recommend reading them in order. Tallie was raised by a paranoid woman on the run, and having spent her life hiding from the ghosts of her mothers past, she uses her unique skills to track down those who have simply vanished. When Tallie responds to an Amber Alert for a missing girl, it leads her to discover that General Cai Kaswell, her newly discovered father, and the world’s best hope for peace is amongst the vanished.

Tallie gets drawn into a conspiracy that links her past to the string of unsolved disappearances, and her search for answers sends her around the world. Having nearly lost her trusted friends, Tallie is assigned to a charming operative, but she doesn’t fully trust them, and has to watch her own back as she searches for General Kaswell. Tallie learns that she may be the unwitting catalyst for all the disappearances, resulting in both Tallie and her father being lured into a plot that will threaten the Constitution, and the balance of world power. This is a fast paced, page turner of a story, and I was kept gripped throughout. The storyline is full of drama and suspense and the plot twists keep it from becoming predictable. I love Tallie, she’s a likeable and realistic main character, who is easy to feel engaged with. A five star read and one which I definitely recommend.

Painter of the Damned (Painted Souls, #2)Painter of the Damned by Rob Samborn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nick and Julia O’Conner are on the run trying to return home to the United States to put an end to the hell of a vacation that they have experienced: murder, arrest, fights, running from the cops. The O’Conner’s were just about to reach the American consulate when the two are arrested and taken into custody. Julia is released from custody and gets to follow along as Nick is transferred back to Venice where he is detained for murder. Nick tells Julia to go find Carlo, their friend in Venice, and have him help to find an attorney for Nick. Little do they know that Carlo is the new Painter for the Order and warden of the dammed spirits that reside in the painting Paradise. We get flashbacks of Nick’s previous life and find out that he may or may not know the location of a book lost that can bring about world-changing power. Will della Porta find be able to use Nick to find the book? Does Nick remember where the book is? Should Julia just return to the States by herself and not believe this nonsense that her husband speaks of? Read the book because I give no spoilers into the outcome! It is a great read full of thrills and mystery and mayhem! The characters are wonderfully written and I find myself able to quickly fall into step with them and experience what they are. This book had me on the edge of my seat and I highly recommend that one reads it!

This book is utterly fantastic. It really pulled me in from the start and could not read enough about Adrik! This has been a strong series so far but I think this book has to be my favourite. It seemed to have that extra level and I really connected with it. The story was dark an intense and the whole book had an exciting feel to it.
This is still a relatively new author to me and yet with each book she solidifies her place as a go to author. Even though I have just finished this book I am already looking forward to the next.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Revenge is a dish best served cold!
This was an awesome addition to the story filled with action, suspense, drama and of course romance.
Adrik (aka The Beast) has a disfigurement but appears as a confident, put together kind of guy only to those he knows but deep down he has insecurities stemming from trauma. Similarly, Amelia has her own set of issues and secrets that she keeps hidden. Together these two create chemistry and steam but there is so much against them. There is so much emotion. I don’t want to give too much away as there are so many layers to their story. This is the fifth book in the series and can be read as a stand-alone but much better as a part of the series.

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

Leslie Georgeson writes a gripping dark and twisted tale that has become addicting. She writes compelling, and complex characters that will entice you to want a closer look.
Beast is the fifth book and is a thrilling forbidden love secret crush romance story where the main character is anything but ordinary. His looks alone scare people that is where his name Beast came from. Annika has led a sheltered life as a Bratva princess. She is off limits as the Boss’s daughter, but he can’t help but love her. She is the one thing that is able to see past his scars and see him for who he truly is.
This book in the Popov Bratva series is full of everything you could want to keep the reader enthralled. As with the other books in the series there is intrigue and suspense, passion and angst, lies and deceit, secrets and betrayal, danger and violence.
It reminded me a bit of Beauty and the Beast in a twisted and dark Mafia way with a scarred and broken man, a forbidden princess and a monster of a stalker this instalment will have your heart breaking and melting at the same time. There are also some steamy moments that will fog up your glasses, moments when you are on the edge of your seat and moments when you will need the tissue box.
Don’t miss this gripping tale.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the first book in this series and equally fell in love with this the second book, Revenge Never Rests. I enjoy Laurie’s writing style and her compelling way of telling a story. Her first book Secrets Never Die where we were first introduced to Tallie was one of the best suspense stories I had read this year and this one is just the same.
The interesting characters are well developed and believable and easy to like.
Will Tallie be one of the hundreds who disappeared as she finds herself drawn into this conspiracy?
This is an action-packed tale with drama, twists and turns that keep the suspense real.
Add this to your TBR list and prepare to be wowed.
No spoilers here. I really can’t say enough good things about this book except that you need to discover this gripping world that Laurie has created all by yourself.

There is a caution with this book so make sure to check it out before reading the book.
The Daredevil is a friends-to-lovers contemporary romance tale where the suspense is often palpable. Nadia has done it again with secrets and lies, danger and hope, steam and passion there is something for all to enjoy. It is the second book in the WaterFyre Rising series and can be read as a standalone, but I encourage you to read book 1 first as it is such a good read.
As the books title suggests the Daredevil is living life on the edge and the high and the thrill that goes with it. That is until he meets her. It is the one that could make him whole again?
She is living a half-life and that life is shrouded with a monster that no one can banish. That is until she meets him. He may just be the one who can fight her monster, but can he keep her safe?
This thrilling tale will have you on the edge of your seat as you embark on this journey of highs and lows

This is the third book in this series and just as the previous two, I was in love by the end of the first chapter. The author did an excellent job keeping you from wanting to put this book down. She did a phenomenal job with her characterization. I personally felt as if I knew these characters. I thought she did an amazing job building the story, so I was able to visually view the world around me. I loved how she weaved the story into a lesson that everyone needs to know which is how one small mistake can impact so many lives and individuals. This is a very wholesome book that I thoroughly enjoyed. I would highly recommend you give this a read.

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

WOW! This was my first read by Dreena Collins, and the book And Then She Fell did not disappoint one bit! After reading the first chapter, I knew I’d be hooked. The thought of multiple potential stories that were told throughout the book really drew me in, as well as the title of the book itself.

Catherine’s daughter Susie fell to her death in an accident in Crete. Nothing about the “accident” has ever felt right Catherine, so Catherine decides to take a trip Crete herself and see if anyone can remember anything that may help her “solve the case”. To Catherine, this wasn’t just about solving the case, but it was about trying to gain some type of closure. After gathering some information from speaking to several employees of the different areas in Crete, Catherine figured she had enough courage to approach Susie’s friends and boyfriend to help her try to piece together what could have happened.
Catherine soon comes to realize that she truly didn’t know who her daughter Susie really was!

The 10 possibilities of known scenarios coming together of what might have happened and who Susie really was, had a unique approach. I found each scenario to be affecting my opinions on who could possibly be responsible to the “accident” that happened to Susie. Each scenario was well written suggestions of what possibly happened to Susie, and to say that I was surprised by the ending is a definite understatement! I was lost in the rabbit hole of possibilities from start to finish.

Emotional and enticing
This is the second book in the WaterFyre Rising and it’s just as good as the first. This book is about Royce and Michelle. I was so happy to see snippets of Remi and Audri. Royce is a strong, alpha male character who is very sure of himself but carries some pretty heavy baggage. Michelle also has her demons. Theirs is not an easy journey. Exceptional writing and highly recommend.

Even though scared of what his future will hold, Adrik approaches the Popov family to join their ranks of their crime family. Adrik is riddled in scars and carries himself in way that his him working his way up the ladder. When he sees Annika, a Bratva princess, he decides he will never leave this life if only to keep an eye on her. He plans to stay in the shadows but Annika is haunted by her past just as Adrik is. After years hiding from her Adrik crosses Annika’s path and soon they form a friendship that slowly builds to something more. Can Annika see past his scars and perhaps Adrik find a happiness he never knew existed?

A ton of twists in this story. Both Adrik and Annika are carrying scars from things that happened to them. I liked Annika a lot, she was perfect for Adrik. Adrik’s character was written in such a way that you are pulled to him in an emotional sense, you just want to become his protector. Highly entertaining read.

This book is a very easy to read book. It went quickly for me because I couldn’t put it down. The characters grasped me by the heart strings in the very beginning. This book has its share of drama and edge of the seat suspense. The characters have trauma and growth. This book hits on everything that I enjoy in a book. It gives the characters a voice, almost as if they are speaking to the author in person. The details in the book are in a class above most. Being able to actually visualize the events in the books AND feel the emotions that the characters have makes this book one that can’t be put down. You will feel yourself giving off the emotions of the characters to anyone who dares to try to talk to you while reading it. Tears to raging anger and everything in-between is the emotional roller coaster you will go on. I highly suggest this book to anyone who is wanting to escape from their own reality for a little while. Must read!!!

This is the second in the WayerFyre Rising series but you do not need to read the first to read this one. The main characters start off as friends from the same group who run into each other in Iceland. They get to be better friends and fake ( not for long) date. The suspense and action is well written. There are plot twists that surprise you and keep you on your toes. Some of the scenes may be too spicy for some (not me but some people may not like it). All in all great book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 5th book in a fantastic Mafia Romantic Suspense series. Although part of a series, each book can be read as a standalone. I started this series by reading book 4 and did not feel that I was left missing any necessary information to enjoy and understand the book. The same can be said of this book.
Having read book 4, I was quite intrigued by the character Beast and I was so glad to find out that we were getting his story next. Named Beast due to his face being badly scarred and damaged in a dog attack when he was younger, Adrik has no hopes of ever finding a woman who will see past his scars and fall in love with him. Definitely not Mafia princess Annika Popov who he has secretly crushed on for many years. All that changes when he is put in charge of keeping her safe from an attacker who has already tried to kill her.
I really loved Adrik and Annika’s story. Ardik is an amazing character. Such a tortured, wounded soul with a horrendous past. I totally fell in love him reading this book. I also adored Annika. She’s not a typical mafia princess full of airs and graces with no regard for others. She’s totally taken by the strange Adrik and can’t fathom the pull that he has on her.
This is a beautiful story to read. I loved reading how Annika’s patience and love brought out the true Adrik and that he got the HEA he so desperately deserved.
100% recommend.

This book was a nice light romance read, and the characters had great character growth. In the beginning we are introduced to Austin and then to Casey. This book was the first time I was introduced to these characters, even though this is the second book in the series. I thought the story between Austin and Casey were a very cute couple that had to learn to grow together. They also had to learn how to manage life with out Mavis, as this person both impacted the two in differing ways.

This is the 2nd book in this fantastic series which I’ve loved so far. This book technically can be read as a standalone but I think you’d enjoy it more and understand it better if you have read the first book in the series beforehand.
In this 2nd book Austin is trying to mend his heart after losing the girl he loves to his twin brother Josh. I have to say that I wasn’t the biggest fan of Austin in the first book as Josh and Mavis were always destined to be together. Austin should not have gone near Mavis in a romantic way. Reading this book, we see a whole different side of Austin and realise that he really did love Mavis and was totally heartbroken. I have to say that I totally fell in love with Austin in this book. As for Casey, well, she’s a total breath of fresh air. She’s quirky, sassy and rather awesome and she’s just exactly what Austin needed.
I really enjoyed reading Austin and Casey’s story. It really takes you on an emotional journey. I was gripped by the story from the very beginning and did not want to put the book down. I just had to know how their story turned out.
In addition to Austin and Casey’s story we get the beginnings of what will be Lauren and Mitch’s story in the third book and I’m already excited for that.

Painter of the Damned (Painted Souls, #2)Painter of the Damned by Rob Samborn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Painter of the Damned is Book Two in the Painted Souls Series and picks up where book one left off. Nick and Julia are determined to end their nightmare vacation and return home. They have managed to escape Venice and have almost made it to the American consulate when Interpol captures them and swiftly returns them to Venice. Nick is detained and brought forth on charges, but Julia is allowed to go free.

Determined to rescue her husband, Julia enlists the help of Carlo, the young artist that her and Nick met in Venice during their vacation. However, Julia does not know that Carlo is the order’s new painter, and he now controls those damned to spend eternity in Tintoretto’s Renaissance painting, Paradise.

After reading book one, the Prisoner of Paradise, I knew that I needed to read book two. Book one followed both Nick and Julia, but mainly focused on Nick as he was determined to free his soulmate from the Renaissance painting, Paradise. In this book there are multiple point of views, but the story mainly follows Julia as she fights to save Nick from Interpol and the charges brought forth against him. Julia is strong, smart, determined, and will do anything to save him so they can return home and leave this nightmare behind them.

There is non-stop action and suspense throughout and you can feel the sense of danger that lurks around every corner. The author does an exquisite job of describing each scene in detail so vivid that you can visualize it and feel as though you are there with the characters. A heart-pounding, edge of your seat thrill ride that you must read!

This is the second book in the Painted Souls series and wow these books just keep getting better. These books are a perfect mix of history and mystery all wrapped up. The story flows really well and doesn’t get confusing when it switches between the past and present.

Nick and Julia are our main characters, however the story mainly revolves around Nick and his past life. I would really recommend reading the first book in this series so you get a proper understanding of Nicks story and why him and Julia are in the situation they are now.

After their trip to Venice turned into a scary disaster all they want to do is return home and as far away from Venice as possible. They head to the American consulate however they get stopped and captured before they get there. Interpol is convinced that Nick is hiding secrets from his past life and they plan to get to the truth.
Now it is a race against time for Julia to try and save her husband but without knowing where to turn and who to trust will she even be able to do that? What does Nick remember about the past and is it what his captures are after?

The story is really well woven with past meeting present. The descriptions really bring the characters and Venice to life for me.

Murder on Oak Street is a historical crime novel set in 1904 New York. Dr. Daniel O’Halleran captives the reader as he keeps experiencing setbacks, including being left at the alter. Upon this, he decides it’s time for a change for himself. He’s always had an interest for investigation (and is good at it!) and he starts looking at an old case. As his luck would have it, he soon realizes that this was his very first case and the old feelings of “something’s not right” begin to arise. It’s quite the story and a great start to a series.

Wow, this was a s0moking good book. I was on the edge of my seat and wanted more. I was lost in the pages, and didn’t want it to end. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
