Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Book 2) by Byrd Nash

Delicious Death is the second book in the Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries and is a fast paced story that I devoured in one sitting. I recommend reading the first book in this series if you haven’t already started as this one picks up not to long after the first one ended ,plus you get to know the characters better and what’s been going on up to this point. I Enjoyed reading this fast paced well written Historical Mystery that had me turning the pages trying to figure out what was going to happen next. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Time’s running out… 

Rowan Sheridan is a warrior, a powerful being capable of bending time and space to take on the rogues and zombies the triple goddess unleashes on civilians. For centuries, his family has taken on the Morrigan, their successes against her legendary. But if he doesn’t find his talisman by midnight of his twenty-eighth birthday, he faces death—or something worse.

To convince her she belongs to him…

Wallflower Alyssa Macaulay has no clue a community of supernatural Celtic warriors lives alongside her. Nor does she know she’s a talisman, a member of that community. Orphaned at age four, she was raised by her grandmother, a druid of uncommon skill who deliberately kept Alyssa ignorant of her true self. A chance meeting in a bar on a cold winter’s night upends the bookish grad student’s life when Rowan introduces her to their world.

Their love can end a centuries-old curse.

Trying his sign on Alyssa and discovering she’s his talisman, his fated mate, should be cause for their celebration. Too bad Alyssa thinks Rowan’s only looking for a good time and she has no idea who and what they are. The goddess’s imminent arrival doesn’t give Rowan time to show her either. Somehow, he needs to compress the lifetime of training she should have had into a week—and convince her the one amazing night they shared is only the beginning of a lifetime of love. If they can live long enough…

Like the tagline of her first novel, Tam DeRudder Jackson’s personal motto is “love is worth the risk.” Readers and reviewers have praised her stories for her swoon-worthy characters, movie-quality world building, and strong writing. Though she’s a voracious reader of all genres of romance, her favorite genres to write are paranormal and contemporary. When she’s not writing or reading, she’s probably traveling or skiing or dancing at a rock concert.

The Taste of Light (The Winemakers, #2)The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a good 4 star read. This is Pedro and Anne’s story. I really liked these characters. When Anne shows up on Pedro’s doorstep he mistakes her for someone else at first. There is a big twist that forces them to flee. As they spend more time together their connection grows. The author does a great job with her writing. She builds the characters up so great and you can’t wait to see where their journey will take them. Will they get a HEA? If you’re looking for a historical romance I suggest you 1-click and get started on this one. I look forward to reading more from her.

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #2)Delicious Death by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I enjoyed Delicious Death. I think I may have enjoyed it more than book 1 in this series. The author brings us back to Alenbonne and into Madame Chalamet’s life. This time it seems to be a bigger adventure and a bigger mystery.
The resident Ghost Talker has been invited to The Winter Revels by the king. This season’s competition is among 6 chefs across the land. Of course Madame Chalamet feels Duke Archambeau is behind it. But what happens when all the fun and games turns serious. Someone poisoned the King and with all these people in the same place from high society as well as common, anyone could’ve done it.
Together and apart the Duke and Madame start an investigation to get to the bottom of it. Despite everything the push and pull between them, they make a great team. It could also be that the author is showing more chemistry between them within the writing.
I look forward to continuing on into this series!

Ghost Talker (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #1)Ghost Talker by Byrd Nash
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ghost Talker was interesting. I struggled to get into it at first but the author wrote an interesting mystery with a supernatural element. I’m a sucker for the supernatural, books of fiction in this genre have always intrigued me. Ghost Talker was no different.
Madame Chalamet has been brought into an investigation that lands her in house arrest. All because of what the spirit revealed to her. Revealing who he was and what relations said person has, Duke Archambeau felt he needed to keep a close eye on her. Despite being present in the morgue of the spirit talking he still had his doubts about Madame Chalamet’s profession.
Forced to work together to solve the murder and keep the peace treaty signing in order, the Duke and Madame find as much as they frustrate one another they also entertain as well.
The mystery the author lays before you is different because ghosts are helping to lead the investigation. But that different element makes it stand out. Keeps the book in the reader’s mind even after they are done. Makes one look forward to more books in this series. As well as what could develop between the Madame and Duke.

The Taste of Light (The Winemakers, #2)The Taste of Light by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This review is going to be hard to write without spoilers but I’ll do my best!

First of all, this is a stand alone book but I HIGHLY recommend reading book 1 (The True Purpose of Vines: An intoxicating historical romance about wine and love.) so you can have a proper understanding of Pedro. Reading this book first will probably ruin a lot of things for you!

I HATED Pedro in the first book. I mean, a deep loathing for the man. I can’t say that now. He’s found a way to redeem himself with the way he’s handled Anne. It took me awhile to be able to say that but he’s earned his redemption!

Anne is helping out her sister-in-law with the vines and dealing with an outbreak of Phylloxera when she meets Pedro. Anne is a polar opposite of Pedro, along with several years younger.

Can Anne show Pedro how to be a decent human being? Will Pedro find his redemption and deal with his past?

There’s a little bit of everything to love in this book. A great historical based story that includes some humor, spicy romance, and a redeeming heart!

5/5 Stars

The Taste of Light (A Winemakers #2) by Giovanna Siniscalchi

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. The Taste of Light is the second book in A Winemakers Series. I love the writing style and how the author put the words together.

Anne moves to help her brother and sister in law. Once she gets there she finds herself wishing for true love. She wants someone to love her unconditionally. Then she meets Pedro and things become difficult. Can she make it work? The quote I chose for Anne is: “When Griffin came to live here, he was an adult, but I was not yet your age. Plus, my best friend is Portuguese.”

Pedro loses his bride to someone else. Winemaking became his passion after that. Then he meets Anne. He finds himself falling for her, but that causes some trouble. Can he forgive his past? The quote I chose for Pedro is: “If by courting you mean to pay for her brother’s debts and not require a dowry, then yes.”

Highly recommended for Historical Romance lovers.

Pete and Kendall are everything! Pete said his best friends sister could come stay the week with him while she was in town for her job. Kendall was the annoying little sister that had a crush on her brothers best friend growing up. So when she shows up at his house, he’s blown away with how grown she is now. Will he fall for the girl even if it means he’s “betraying” his best friend? The angst, the spice..I’m OBSESSED. Kendall and Pete make a deal but will they both keep their word? Or fall head over heels in love with each other? The brothers best friend trope is one of my favorites and I couldn’t put this book down. I finished it in a few hours. Great characters and great story! ABSOLUTELY READ THIS! I’m onto the next book in the series because I can’t get enough! 5 stars for me! 😍

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fantastic book! I knew I was going to love it because I just loved the second book of this series. Peyton is dating a guy named Andy who’s living a double life. She goes to this party with him and finds out he’s married. Andy pretends she’s actually there with his teammate Ryan..when really she came here with him. Peyton has no idea and is absolutely crushed. The guy she’s apparently dating (Ryan) thinks Peyton knew Andy was married and just didn’t care. Ryan instantly judged Peyton and they don’t start off on the right foot. They have to keep pretending they’re dating but is that all it’ll stay as? Fake dating? Will real feelings come into play? Ryan tends to react on things before thinking but he really is amazing. The drama, the intenseness, the romance, THE SPICE? Absolutely amazing. The characters were great, there’s characters that are absolutely AWFUL I’d love to smack them but that’s what makes a great book. You need different kinds of people. This author knows how to captivate you and keep you interested. There’s humor but there’s also some pretty dark topics discussed in this book. I loved the entire thing. I wish I could read it again for the first time. I love a sexy spice read and I loved the hot tub scene 🥵 edging is so 🔥 10 stars for me.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m a pretty big fan of “marriage of convenience” tropes and this one was a lot of fun. I liked the reality TV aspect of it- I haven’t read any other book that used that. It wasn’t a drawn out read- always a win to me! Finn and Abi were both wonderful independently (well sometimes- I’m looking at you Finn!) and they were even better together! The chemistry between them was great- and the development of their relationship was refreshing. I like forced proximity stories (like forced to share one bed kind of thing) and this was satisfying. I’m excited for the rest of the Kings of the Screen series!!

What drew me into this book was the mention of the killer gene and how it may be passed on genetically. I wanted to read and see how it played out. This book is a page turner. I needed to know every next move and thought. This is the first book in a long time that I didn’t like a character from start to finish. A main character at that. I despise Troy lol. As far as the ending of the book goes, it was unexpected but fitting.

This is book 2 in the series and while I didn’t read book one I was able to read this book and not feel lost. The MMC Pedro is not a knight in shining armor but he still draws you in. A violent past with guilt causing him to drown it out with alcohol makes him belief he deserves the bad and no good. Until the FMC Anne comes along. While she knows he has demons to face she believes that people are a product of their past and at heart are inherently good. She sticks by him but he doesn’t know if it’s enough to face all of his past

I didn’t realize this was a series until I started the book, so I am definitely going back to read the first one now! Even without reading the first, I was able to follow along well enough and enjoy the entire story. I feel the author did an amazing job with this emotional romance. I especially enjoyed the beautifully written scenery throughout the story which helped pull everything together for me. It was absolutely a book that I breezed right through and needed to know what was going to happen next. I’m excited to see what the author has planned for the third book! I highly recommend picking this up and reading it in order to get the full effect.

Married Blind is the first book I’ve ever read by Morgana Bevan and one of the few Hollywood themed romances I’ve ever read. Neither the author or the theme of the book disappointed.
Something as simple as Finn describing his ideal woman as a fiery redhead vs your stereotypical “hot blond” was enough to pique my interest in the storyline overall. I enjoyed that the book showed both Abi and Finn’s perspectives and the banter was fantastic. After reading this I realized it was part of a stand alone series and I look forward to reading more.

Loving this series! This can be read as a standalone, though it is the second in the series; it is oh so good!

The author writes an entertaining story with a fun concept. I really enjoyed the main characters, Peyton and Ryan, as well as their story. Peyton finds herself in a terrible situation with her so-called boyfriend and ends up in a fake relationship with Ryan, the star pitcher! They often don’t see eye to eye, but their attraction and chemistry is undeniable. Can they really see each other and turn their fake relationship into a real one?

This was page-turner with all the right things: sports, drama, steam, tension, and romance! A great read!

This entire collection is a really great series to read! You start with learning a bit about the main characters in this family, the lust that drives them, and SO many crazy secrets! If there is one thing each member of each story is known for it is the secrets they fail to keep! The author does her job of making the reader invest in the lives of each character in the series, but within each book drawing a focus on the leads. It makes for interesting reading time, and the ending of the collection will have you shocked and ready for more!

The author has given yet ANOTHER layer of complexity to this Hawke family, and I was in shock by the end of book 6! This was one of the best of the series in this collection, and it is only a novella! We learn about the boss, Steele, and how he has an amazing night with this guy, Byron. Of course, the secrets of his involvement in the mafia, and Byron’s connection to the Hawke family get Steele pressed into a corner. It always seems that these incredibly steamy romances cause the main character of the story to have a dangerous decision to make! You will be thoroughly surprised at the craftiness of the author once you hit the ending! Do not forget to read all of the other books in the collection! I hit my aha moment a few times once i concluded the series!

Super sweet and quirky book. At the beginning it is a little on the slow side, but it does pick up midway and is such a lighthearted pleasant story to read. The main female character Rhia is everything a Royal shouldn’t be. She is loud, insanely tall for a female, and most of all messy. Her town, where her father is the mayor, has not paid taxes to the King of Wales and now he is setting a deadline. Not only is he setting a deadline, but he also demands that Rhia marry his sixth son, Emerys. She is pressured by her father to sway the prince into letting them not pay the owed debt. She is frustrated and does everything in her power to make it a horrible situation instead of coming together with the prince to save her town. Unfortunately, they have a few run ins with the Wildmen, who come and steal anything they may have. After trying deeply to ignore her feelings for the prince, she is put in a predicament where she might not only lose her town, but also the man she loves.

I do admit to choosing to read this book solely based on the name, a goal of mine being this year to choose books to read based off of the name or cover every month this year, but I was surprised to find just how much I enjoyed the book! I absolutely love the way that Pedro is written, the ‘heartless’ widow, and the twist of fate that brings him together with Anne, the ‘naive’ woman who falls for him. I found myself loving the ‘Hades and Persephone’ trope, a huge fan of Greek Mythology making it easy to do so. I did not read the first book in the series, and did not find that I necessarily needed to, which I always love in series like these. I am definitely now a fan of this author and can’t wait to read more of this series and her other published works!

Book 4 brings the first three books together, in a tough tragic time for Storm, but we must not forget that the weave of romance is deep in the Hawke Family. Storm must deal with the death in the family that has struck her so tough, in the midst of getting her life back together. Her life is indeed in shambles, however she runs into yet another beautiful man in this series of books. Landon is escaping his own personal hell and comes across the beautiful Storm. Their lives become intertwined and their own love story ensues. A chance meeting at a party brings this unlikely pair together, and their bond brings much more drama to the family than ever before! This was a really emotional book!
