My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The book was a quick read. It was very funny and I found myself laughing out loud. The very first couple of paragraphs it had me wanting to read more. I don’t think I wanted to put the book down unless I really had too.

Tenley and Teagan are both podcast hosts. Tenley doesn’t think she wants to fall in love. She considers the logic of everything. Teagan thinks of himself as the “Love Guru” and cant stand anyone who doesn’t see it.

So Teagan invites Tenley on a couples retreat in Hawaii, hes buying. If she falls in love, Teagan wins, and if she doesn’t, she wins and gets 10k. Of course Tenley is interested in a free tropical vacation and the “guarantee” of ten thousand dollars, and off they go.

Along the way they find out it is an entire trip built around couples in love, so they pretend. They discover an attraction to one another that neither one of them expected. There is alot of great characters in the book.

Very fun, cute story. It is a very easy read.

Falling Home by Libby Kay is a small-town second-chance romance story. Ginny is back in Buckeye Falls to help her father recover from surgery. While she is there she is roped into helping with the Christmas Jubilee and her ex-husband, Max is her planning partner. I really enjoyed this story. Max and Ginny are awesome and I love the small-town Christmas feel of it all. Libby Kay is a wonderful writer that sets the scene beautifully and makes you fall in love with these characters. This book is like a comfort. It makes you feel warm and content. It is the perfect Christmas romance read.

Underboss's Retaliation (Sicilian Gods Book 2)Underboss’s Retaliation by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dominic Larussio is one bad underboss. He is known to be cruel and to make sure his family is safe. Being so ruthless he has more than he can handle when he meets the beautiful Emelia. She is off limits as she is the daughter of a rival crime family. Emelia is not only beautiful but she has got to be one of the strongest women I have read about in a long time. This story could be a standalone, but I feel you should read the series in order. The author of this book has written one of the most intense stories ever. The story is fast paced and non stop action. The characters are strong and independent for their mafia families. Many feelings will be brought out when you read this book. Be sure to have tissue, chocolate and something to drink as you will not be putting this on down until THE END.

Married Blind (Kings of Screen Book 2) by Morgana Bevan – Review by Karyn Taylor

Married Blind (Kings of Screen, #2)Married Blind by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the 2nd book in the Kings Of Screen series but can be read as a standalone. I was unaware of the fact that there had been a previous book in the series before I read this and can say that I did not feel that I was missing any information needed to understand and enjoy this book. It’s set around 4 actor friends and each guy gets his own book, so although there are recurring characters it can be easily read on its own.
In this book we get the story of Irish actor Finn McCarthy, forced by his agent to enter ‘Married Blind’ a reality TV series where he meets his bride at the wedding. His bride is Abi Johnson, who is working 3 jobs to pay her sister’s medical bills. Finn assumes she must be a gold digger to take part in such a programme and is resolved to have as little to do with her as possible. Due to the constant filming they are forced together more than he would like, particularly as the more time they spend together, the more he realises just how perfect she is for him.
I really enjoyed reading Finn and Abi’s story. Their forced proximity results in some hilarious encounters between the two that I really enjoyed reading. Finn’s sense of humour provides some really entertaining reading.
The storyline flows very well and had me pulled in from the very beginning and not wanting to put this book down.
Definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed this book! Not only is it a classic example of good vs evil, but it addresses racial issues from an understanding point of view. Full of magic & action, the main character is such a strong person who always stops to do the right thing. Reading the first two books is necessary because the characters develop throughout the adventure and knowing their backstories is key. I will absolutely be reading this author from now on!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Son of Asmodeus by Barb Jones moved quickly through a complex storyline littered with angels, demons and secret pacts made ages ago. Sully is a loveable main character who had never waivered from what he considered his sacred duty to fight and kill demons- it is the holy task he was assigned from a very early age. Hundreds of years later, Sully is made aware of the deeper meaning of his purpose and embarks on a treacherous journey to learn more about his past, his purpose and his future as a demon hunter.

Falling HomeFalling Home by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Falling Home is available now in Paperback and eBook
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐️ Book Review! You won’t want to miss this to wrap up the holiday season!

Meet the Author: When Libby Kay is not writing, she loves reading romance novels of any kind. Stories of people falling in love nourish her soul. Contemporary or regency, sweet or hot, as long as there is a happily ever after, she’s in love! When not surrounded by books she can be found baking, binging true crime shows, or on the road with her husband traveling as far as the bank will allow.

Synopsis: Ginny fled Buckeye Falls two years ago, leaving behind her now ex-husband Max and her dad, when she realized she couldn’t have her work and her love life. There just wasn’t enough time to have them both, someone or something would suffer. Max, devastated that Ginny up and left, takes on the responsibilities of the diner and befriends Ginny’s dad. Together they relish in what could have been. When Ginny comes back to town to help her dad recover from hip surgery, she gets roped into helping with the town’s Christmas Jubilee and Max is her planning partner. Will they both realize what they have missed out on these last two years?

Reader’s Thoughts: “Slip into this enchanting small town and stay awhile! You might just fall in love…” I did exactly that reading Falling Home! I was in love with Ginny and Max from the very beginning, rooting for them the entire time. Max loved his diner, had the most amazing cooking abilities, and sure could win a girl over with cheese…..yes cheese! Those enchiladas and grilled cheese had me wishing Max was in MY kitchen. And that red dress…I could only imagine how gorgeous Ginny was when she stepped into it. Makes my heart melt.

This second chance at romance, Christmas miracle was the perfect wrap up to the holidays for me. Libby Kay sure knows how to write, leaving no stone upturned. The story line was seamless, keeping the reader interested and wanting more, no questions unanswered. The characters were lovable, relatable, and down to earth. The story was predictable but did not deter me from continuing on. I can’t wait to see what else Libby Kay has in store for her readers.

Whispers in the Waters (Blood of the Fae) by Sarah Chilson
3 Stars

Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about this book. On one hand, the author did a wonderful job world building. The story takes place in a Victorian era. It showed the restrictions and standards that women had to live by very well. The writing and speech fit in with the era. The cursed mill was an interesting mystery to be solved and I enjoyed the paranormal aspect especially the fact that the author used the lesser Fae in her story.

On the other hand, I found the story slow. It failed to grip my attention and keep it. I prefer stories with strong female leads. Although Jessa has certain strengths, I found that she was too scared most of the time and she constantly questioned herself. Seeing as this is a prequel, I believe that she will gain confidence and become stronger as the series progresses. I found it sad that my favourite character was the cat. I believe that there are a lot of readers who will enjoy this book but for me I prefer a little more action and intensity.

I’m a wine lover and enjoyed this novel about Portugal and wine making. Throw in some romance and it’s a great story. I’ve never been to Portugal, but this makes me want to travel there! The real history woven into the story helps bring it to life. The culture clash brought the enemies-to-lovers deeper into complex characters that you fall in love with. The next book will be a wonderful read!

This novel gives the reader a whirlwind of emotions, tension, drama, and redemption. The text is full of poetic prose that fully engages the reader page after page. I love being pulled into 19th century Portugal scenery with the passion between Anne and Pedro! I have a soft spot for the tortured hero in a story and the tension between the two kept me on the edge of my seat!

This book collection was simply amazing to read. It had a little bit of everything for everyone. From BDSM, to LGBT+, to everything in-between, this world was beautifully created You could tell that the author loved writing this series by the time she took to create the characters and their development in just a few words. I loved reading all six books, and had a book hangover so much to the point where I had to go back and read it all over again just to see if I missed anything. This will forever sit on my bookshelf on my kindle for me to read over and over again!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jasmine (Jazzy) Hayes is a dedicated business woman in her event planning company, Divine Events. Her business partner, Cadence, is also her best friend. It’s never good to mix business with family or friends and Jasmine is learning her lesson pretty quickly.

James Conner is a bad boy and Jasmine kicked him out of his own parents’ anniversary party. James is incredibly attractive though and keeps coming on to Jasmine. However, he’s engaged to be married to another woman. It’s a crazy business deal, this pending marriage. He’s engaged to Cadence and Jasmine is responsible for planning the wedding. How is Jasmine ever going to plan this wedding with James coming on to her so much?

This novella was enjoyable. There is a lot of back and forth drama involved in the relationships that form/are forming and it times it seemed a little overdone. But overall, an enjoyable read.

Night Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation #0.5)Night Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

 

5 Stars

 

“ This man is most certainly dangerous; though, I don’t think it has anything to do with the things girls are always warned about by their mothers. This man is dangerous in a way that will destroy your body and soul. ”

 

“ “(F—), Jack…” He jerks on my hair until my eyes meet his again. “This is a dangerous game you’re playing.” Don’t I know it. This entire weekend has been dangerous— for him, for me, for my heart. And I don’t want it to end. Not yet. One more night. Tomorrow, I’ll deal with the fallout. ”

 

Night Hawke is the first addictive book in the new Hawke Family Second Generation series by Gwyn McNamee. It is set 30 years after the original series finished, bringing us back into the fold of the Hawke family.
GAH!!!! I Floved this book so hard….. being a HUGE fan of the original series, I was so excited when I discovered Ms. McNamee had plans for a second-generation series, but also a little apprehensive that it wouldn’t match the pull of the original series, let alone come close to the way the original cast captured my heart and etched themselves onto my soul………..but I was WRONG!!! I should never have doubted Ms. McNamee, and I know I have said that before, but I let my doubt get the better of me here. I knew the story would be good because, DUH, it’s Gwyn McNamee. But I was worried that because I had LOVED the original Hawkes with such a fiery passion, that this second generation may not hold a candle to their predecessors. But, I was WRONG……. again!!! If this story is anything to go by, then the new series is set to be AMAZING, and the original Hawkes have some serious competition headed their way.
Night Hawke is a short novella length story, a tasty little morsel offered to whet our appetite for the new series. It is the prequel- an introduction as such and an entirely addictive little piece that has left me eagerly anticipating the release of ‘Ruthless Hawke’ (Book #1) and meeting all of the new cast of Hawkes, as well as perhaps catching up with our favourites from the original series.
Isaac Hawke has just graduated law school and is out celebrating when he locks eyes on a captivating red head across the bar. Even though he is leaving the city to head home to New Orleans in a few short days, he’s determined to convince her to spend the night with him. No names, no-strings-attached, a weekend of scorching passion that blazes white hot and unexpectedly brands their souls. Jack has her own secrets that tether her to the ‘real’ world and puts a firm time limit on their fling. What happens makes for a sizzling hot read. But, will one night be enough? You really should read all the riveting details for yourself; you’ll be so glad you did.
This does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, but thankfully we don’t have too long to wait till the next book releases- because I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. to continue what I started here!!!!
Perfectly delicious and entirely enticing!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Gwyn McNamee!

This is the third book in the series and picked up where book two left off. It reads well as a stand alone but would recommend reading the first two books in the series. The plot is well thought out and the characters are diverse and interesting! The pages are filled with such detail that the story comes to life and you just can’t put the book down. That’s plenty of action to keep the reader engaged in the story. The author left the ending in a way that makes me think there will be more to this story. I’m looking forward to more books!

Son of AsmodeusSon of Asmodeus by Barb Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by Barb Jones, and it did not disappoint. The completely unique synopsis is what drew me in and had me interested. Page one, the prologue, “The Pact” had me hooked. A battle in the kingdom of heaven led by Lucifer, with a horde of demons, had killed countless angels in the throne room. An ultimatum by the Lord himself made Lucifer withdrawal only for him to send a second horde of demons. After using his flaming sword, the Archangel Michael broken by seeing the loss of his brothers and sisters has a plan to project the passage to heaven, to insure it never falls to demons again.
The Lord, Lucifer, and Raphael all agree to Michael’s plan, the pact, and agree to provide the demon prince Asmodeus by Lucifer, the archangel Jophiel by Michael and the prophet Elias by Raphael. The Pact requires a sacrifice by both kingdoms, Heaven, and Hell, and only those involved are to know the price that is paid to protect the passage. Michael calls upon Asmodeus and Jophiel ensuring that they agree that they are willing partners when Michael sees the spark between them, and his depths of his pact begins. Brother John 1329 was taught by his parents about hell and the truth of demons being fallen angels by his father and taught about heaven and the archangels by his mother. Went to the monastery at the age of 14, when he would ask about his purpose the monks would always tell him the same line. “You are a special child with a unique purpose, that had adopted parents that loved you.” As a powerful exorcists Brother John only had one demon child that he could never exorcise. But this time was different the demon child taunted Brother John, asking if he wanted to know who he truly was, and questioned the monks on how long they would keep him from his true purpose. After retaliating for the first time again the other monks when Brother John tried to exorcise him, he agrees to go with him to learn the truth. Nearly 700 years later John is still feeling guilty about what the demon child, Edward, his “brother” has told him. Becoming more devote in his religion his demon brother supported him until one day he disappeared leaving a unique blade, one like he had never seen before laying where his brother once slept.
Who is Brother John’s demon father? Did the child tell the truth? How is John connected to the Pact made all those years ago? The author does an amazing job building the story and the suspense, keeping you engaged and eager to keep turning the page to learn what will happen next. I hope the next part to this series will be announced soon. The world created, the characters and the story all keep you coming back for more.

This is an interesting, fast-paced paranormal read that includes angels, demons, and a lot in between. I really enjoyed the creative world building and unique spin the author took in this book.
Can an unknown demon hunter who is feared by both Angels and Demons be a protector? Sully is a lone demon hunter whose life takes a big turn when he meets Mick and agrees to help her find her friend. I really enjoyed their chemistry and how the characters played off each other. Will both Sully and Mick find their paths and be able to stay on them to complete their destiny or will all be lost? I think this is a nice start to a new series.

I’m giving this book 3.5 stars. I really did enjoy this book, but the characters and toxic relationships have me rating it lower. The “best friend” was one of the worst friendships I’ve ever read. I was wanting to throttle both her and the main character Jasmine the whole time I was reading this book. And the “boyfriend”? He was just as bad as the best friend. The only relationship that wasn’t toxic was the one between Jasmine and her assistant, Carmen. Other than the very blatant toxicity that had me raging at the characters, I did enjoy this book and it was entertaining for what it was.

I really like the Amaleigha stories. While I do not have little children I think these books would be enjoyed by children under the age of 9. In this story Amaleigha decides it is important that the school library doesn’t have enough books for non English speaking children and sets up a plan to get more books. Amaleigha is always helping others or making them feel better about themselves. Such a great way to show children how important it is to care for others.

Let me start out by saying that I did not love the first little bit of the book. But, I do not DNF books and therefore persisted. And let me tell you how glad I did. I am giving it 5 stars despite the rough start for me. That is how good the rest of the book is. I truly loved all the twists and turns in this book and there were some that completely blindsided me. I LOVED all the characters, even the ones that the reader is meant to despise. I thought that they were all well written and made complete sense for the story line to make sense. I do hope that there is going to be more about Jasmine, James and Cadence. This book left on the perfect note for a sequel. I want to see what becomes of these characters, that is how much I enjoyed this story. I definitely recommend it!

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy Audiobook by C.L. Schneider – Review by Callie Luna

/0 Comments/in /by

Nite Fire: Exit Strategy is an incredible story! This is the first book that I have read/ listened to by C. L. Schneider. From the first word, I was propelled into an incredible action scene and an apocalypse to boot. The action and suspense are present throughout the book. I did not want to stop listening for a minute!

The audiobook quality and the pacing are amazing. Dahlia’s voice is what I expected and her personality shines through. Some of the other male characters’ voices can be a little annoying but overall I thought the performance was great. During some of the intense scenes, the narrator slows down to really provide the needed impact.

Even though there were previous books that I have not read I was able to understand the story and fell in love the with characters. Dahlia is a strong female character lead. The authors’ descriptions of the places and the creatures gave me clear visuals of the world. I love how Dahlias’ shifting is described. I cannot wait to read/ listen to the rest of the series!

Married Blind (Kings of Screen, #2)Married Blind by Morgana Bevan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Married Blind: A Marriage of Convenience was a great romance book. Finn is one of the “Kings of Screen”, in Hollywood, with a bad boy reputation. He had a relationship that destroyed his image and continued to make poor decisions. His agent thought it would be best to marry a stranger on the show “Married Blind” to improve his image, but he would not be marrying another celebrity. Abi is a woman living in New York taking care of her sister who is in remission from cancer. They need help paying off their medical bills and this show is willing to pay her to marry a celebrity. Both go into the marriage thinking it is a stunt to improve both of their lives, but when both are highly attracted to each other that task becomes difficult. After their honeymoon, they both decide to give it a real try. However, will Abi’s responsibilities lead her away from love, and/or will Finn’s history get in the way of trusting a relationship can work?
I just adored the characters in this book, and they had great banter. The spicy scenes were pretty good too. Finn just screamed Hollywood hotty to me! He was portrayed as a playboy, but someone who didn’t want to be. He was honest, but brutal at times. However, when he let his guard down, you could not help but fall in love with him. He loves hard and honestly, but can’t let his past go. Abi is adorable. From the beginning, she is sassy and strong but also caring. However, like Finn, she also can overthink, which leads to miscommunication. I would say that young people should read more books where miscommunication is the main issue – things can be solved so easily if someone just speaks lol!

Having recently lost my mother, I have a great respect for the father/daughter love portrayed in this book. I found the plot to be cozy and light and truly a nice read.

This is an enjoyable and engaging stand alone romance, which kept me happily turning the pages. Jasmine Hayes runs her company, ‘Divine Events’ and organises events for the social elite. Meanwhile, James is a drunk who has a string of bad business decisions behind him, however, he also comes from the rich Conners family, who are the closest thing to royalty in New England. Two years ago he was told to sort his life out, and now James is about to marry Cadence, and then will be able to get the money he needs to start a new venture. The only problem is that when James meets Jasmine, his fiancé’s best friend and their wedding planner, he recognises her as the woman who he has not stopped thinking about since meeting her.

Jasmine, can’t believe the man that her best friend is marrying is the one who kissed her silly and swept her off her feet. What Jasmine does not know is that James and Cadence have a secret contract, which states they will have a mutually agreeable and quick divorce. I loved the main characters, as they are all likeable and relatable in their own ways. Their relationships come across as very realistic, and they all brought something different to the story. The chemistry between James and Jasmine really came through in the narrative, but I also loved the dynamics between all three main characters. This was a lighthearted and heartwarming romance which had a HEA.
