I have come to really enjoy reading about the Hawke’s. The Hawke’s have always been about protecting their family, their legacy and this book was no different. Isaac is no different when it comes to being a protector, but when a blast from the past shows up with a child in tow that could only mean one thing. He knows from the moment he looks into her eyes that she is his and he will do whatever ot takes to keep her safe. But why has Jack shown up out of the blue after all these years? If you want to find out whether there is a happily ever after for these two you will have to read the book to find out. You won’t be disappointed.

What was meant to be a one night stand has turned into something much more. When they get trapped together during a snowstorm they are learning more about one another and falling in love in the process. While Walt is a country boy, Elyse is a girl who can’t be torn from the concrete jungle. Will their lifestyle choices be too much for them to over look and give a relationship a shot? I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one. Although this is part of a series you can read it as a standalone.

Night Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation Prequel) by Gwyn McNamee – Review by Shannen Kern

Ruthless Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation Book 1)Ruthless Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First of all, let me say that I absolutely loved Night Hawke, which was the prequel to Ruthless Hawke. It definitely starts the series off on the right (steamy) page, so if you haven’t read that one yet, pick it up! I love the entire Hawke family and this one is no different. Gwyn McNamee has such an extraordinary way of grabbing your attention, making you speed through the book without realizing it. The amount of natural chemistry pulls you in and feels more like being a part of the story instead of just looking from the outside in. I HIGHLY recommend this book as well as anything else Gwyn writes because her talent is just incredibly powerful. They have never disappointed me yet!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I found this book to be incredibly relatable and felt like I was walking along Emily through the story. She’s an introvert who feels awkward, never finding her place to fit into. I think we have all been at the place in our life where we don’t answer “How are you” with a genuine answer, but a smile and avoid any real emotion. Emily feels like she doesn’t fit in and has been on a long road to self-love. I’ve never read anything by this author before, but I’m so glad I picked this one up. I recommend it highly and am looking forward to other adventures from Christine Bernard!

I was very excited for this book, so I ended up reading it not realizing it was so far into the series. I didn’t really feel lost which was helpful for me, but after getting sucked into it now I am definitely grabbing the first three books in The Balefire series! This is steamy, mysterious, entertaining and did I say steamy? Adam and Cristy have chemistry that jumps right off the page, but will it build into something more or just stay a spark? After all the truths are revealed, you’ll have to read to find out. I won’t give anything away, but I highly recommend picking Hot For Me up (as well as the rest of the series!) I’m picking up books 1-3 now and will be following this author closely to see what else they have in store!

I love rockstar romance, and this book delivers. Adam is the bassist for the rock band Balefire. Christy is the pop star who joins their tour. Adam and Christy have immediate chemistry and flirt up a storm. There are things from the past that appear and how each handles it will determine their future. I really liked Adam and Christy and enjoyed their story a lot.

OMG I don’t think I can honestly come up with the right words to describe exactly how damn AMAZING this book is or how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! Sorry I know I am shouting but I just don’t know what else to do! 5 Stars just isn’t a high enough rating. I read the Prequel to this book and was not so patiently awaiting for the rest of the story. I just knew it had to be amazing and it in no way disappointed! I was completely hooked from the very first sentence until the very last word and I stayed up half the night to finish it because I simply could not Put it down. The chemistry between Issac and Mina (Jack) is indescribable and right from the start you want everything to work out for them. There are some great twists in the storyline that will keep you turning page after page and all the characters will tunnel into your heart. I can’t wait for more from this truly amazing series and this extremely talented and creative author.

The Exchange by Nadija Mujagic – Review by Julie Johnson

The Exchange: A NovelThe Exchange: A Novel by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Haunting. Bizarre. Suspenseful. Twisted. Tormenting. Sad. Hollow.

These are a few words to describe this novel as well as how it left me feeling at the end. This one will grip you from the first page and leave you possibly doing a happy dance and throwing a victory fist in the end.

Samantha “Sam” has had enough of her mother and living in New Mexico. Her sights are set on the big lights of California and the dream of becoming a well-known actress. Once she gets confirmation of an audition, Sam sets the wheels in motion to find an apartment and get herself out to California. When the audition doesn’t go as planned, Sam looks for work and has to look no further than a local coffee shop. She’s given a warning the first day of work to never be late and has no intentions of doing so. Her co-worker Michael is giving her some weird vibes and her boss…well he’s a bit of a creep but he’s given her an opportunity to work while looking for her big break.

Then Corey enters her life. He has a nice car, a huge house with a pool, and seems to be on the right track in life. Afterall, he has a friend who is going to introduce Sam to the right people and get her the auditions she’s been after. Corey isn’t around much though. He’s flying important people all around the world.

Things start to get weird for Sam and she finds out she’s pregnant, although she doesn’t remember doing anything that would cause that for her. That’s when Corey drops the bomb on her that she’s to exchange her baby for her acting career. Sam starts to find out that she really can’t trust anyone she knows and something isn’t sure she should trust herself.

This book isn’t going to be for everyone. There are several issues that could be triggers for certain people. I did find this book enjoyable though and was a bit intrigued as to how it all happened right up until the very end. There were parts of the story that did seem to drag some but overall, a recommended read.

This is the second book in the Langston Falls series and we follow Walt! This was such a great second book in the series. I do recommend reading the books in order so you can know the back story to the characters. Walt is still young and has a lot to learn but when he meets Elyse he is instantly attracted to her. Elyse being attracted to him finds ways to spend more time with him. Of course what would any romance be without bumps in the road. This book leads so seamlessly into the third book.

Shameless Love: A Small Town Opposites Attract Romance is the second book in The Bennetts of Langston Falls series. Walt is the brother who is fierce and will do anything to take care of those he loves. Elyse is a television producer who is helping his sister Becky find more success. This is a definite opposites attract story with sultry flames attached. I was excited to learn more about Walt after his introduction in the first book of the series and was not disappointed. Also, this can easily be read as a standalone book (but read the first one). I enjoyed the character of Elyse and how she became involved with the Bennett family. The tension between Walt and her was great. I look forward to the next book in this series and getting to know the Bennett’s a bit more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Straight for the Kill is the third book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series. This can easily be read without having read the first two books in the series. The author gives enough background, so I did not feel lost with the different characters or the situations that arose. I enjoyed reading about Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit and Deputy Detective Lila Dayne. This was an interesting mystery because it not only contained a case from 25 years in the past for the characters but also a current case. I liked how the cases were personal for Benoit and how smart and well-thought-out they worked the different cases. This book kept me reading, and I look forward to catching up in this series to learn more about Benoit and Dayne. If you like a good mystery and topical topics such as corruption in your mystery, this is a great book to grab.

Five years ago Isaac spent time with Jack and he has never been able to forget her. Now he is called in for a family matter and finds himself face to face with Jack again, only there are secrets that have not been revealed. Can they resist the chemistry around them when danger lurks?

This book is a great mix of historical romance and fantasy. It is a fairly exciting story and I found myself drawn to it. It is a pretty fast paced story, and once I had started reading it I found it hard to stop. I thought the characters were brilliant. Anna was such a strong character. For me, she carried so much of the book and it was her that kept me reading.
This is a pretty new author to me and I am still getting used to her writing style. I loved that she combined these two genres and she did it so well. There was some strong development throughout the story and it just made the book even better. I am very much looking for book two.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Beware of the darkness, of the mist, of the creatures of the night!
C.A King’s Creatures of the Night is another unique dystopian urban fantasy with paranormal and sci-fi elements. Something for everyone even a little romance. C.L. is an eclectic writer whose stories are original and set your imagination into overdrive. I love dark stories where you heart is pumping and the fear is palpable best and C.L. does that with her well written and richly vivid stories and extraordinary characters/creatures. It will show you that there are things that go bump in the night in her world.
Zoe is well used to danger fighting alongside with family to rid the world of the threat of creatures of the night, of monsters, of demons and of the black mist. But what happens when she stumbles on something that may just change the path she can take and have her believing that not all monsters are the same.
With action and adventure, witches and hunters, magic and danger, angst and drama this story is for everyone who love dark paranormal and thrilling tales.
I look forward to seeing what else goes on in the darkness.

Deadly Intentions is a deliciously erotica romance tale that lives up to its name. Anise Storm has magic fingers when it comes her writing. I love her work that I have read most of her books. It is raw, dark and gritty and it is a captivating read. The darker, the grittier the better I say. A dark mafia thriller romance gets the heart pumping. With enough danger and violence, secrets and lies, intrigue and darkness, angst and fear, intrigue to keep the pages turning. I did at times find there was repeated information as with the flashbacks then reiterating it again wasn’t necessary.
Nazario is a character you will either love to hate or hate to love. He becomes quite a different man not someone likeable. His moods are like being on a rollercoaster. Just when you think you understand his actions he proves you wrong. Viviana was a strong and sassy woman but that all changed when she was around this man. She did surprise me though and didn’t see it coming.
Revenge is sweet or is it?

I loved the first book in this series and couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next, Walt’s story. and as I expected it didn’t disappoint at all. Walt and Elyse were such amazing characters and the chemistry between them was on fire! I really liked Elyse, she was such a string independent character and so genuine as well. Walt was a little grumpy but I think that definitely made him even more desirable especially once we finally got to know the real Walt! I loved the two of them together, they were just so perfect in my opinion.

Aubrianne has recently wed Lord Roger in a marriage arranged by her parents. She knows little about this man but feels that in time that she can grow to love him. Aubrianne is determined to make the most of their marriage and be a good wife. However, married life turns out to be anything but bliss and Lord Roger only has coldness in his heart. He turns out to be cruel and is violent not only towards his wife but to his servants and help as well.

Aubrianne is a fighter, and she is determined to not allow Lord Roger to break her. Along with a small group of servants, who have become her closest friends, they set out to find out why Lord Roger is frequently gone for weeks at a time. They suspect treachery and want to stop it before they become implicated in his treacherous acts.

Unbeknownst to them Lord Roger is being investigated by the Royal Guard of Aurelia. Larkin, a member of the Royal Guard, met Aubrianne by chance years earlier and has not been able to stop thinking about her. He is eager to set out on new adventures and investigate the dealings of Lord Roger and see Aubrianne again. However, if she is implicated in Lord Roger’s treacherous acts she will be faced with the same punishment as Lord Roger. Death will the punishment for all those involved.

This book was beautifully written, and it was easy to become immersed in the story as it unfolded. You could feel yourself being swept back in time and see yourself in each scene. You could feel yourself bounce along on the back of the horse and hear the clip clopping of the horse’s hooves as they traveled along on the roads through ancient forests. You could feel the pain Lord Roger inflicted on Aubrianne and doled out to his servants. The characters, whether you loved them or hated them, were wonderful. Aubrianne is a woman to be admired for her strength and courage to get through the horrific abuse that she endured. Lord Roger is a cruel, cold, and heartless man that deserved to receive the same treatment that he dished out so easily to others. Larkin was kind, sweet, and patient and easy to find yourself drawn to. Wild Lavender is a historical romance that is packed full of action, suspense, mystery, intrigue, murder, and romance. A must read!

Ruthless Hawke (The Hawke Family Second Generation Book 1)Ruthless Hawke by Gwyn McNamee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m so excited that this series has a Second Generation Series. The Hawke Series was one of my favorites. Especially the book about Stone. Which should tell you how excited I am that Ruthless Hawke is about none other than Stone’s son Issac. This author pulls you in, in so many ways it’s easy to get hooked.
If this is the first time you’re stumbling across this series, you can definitely start with the Second Generation Series, you won’t be missing much. However if you want to understand the family as a whole better, you definitely want to go back and read the original Hawke Series. It’s also worth it to read.
Issac is continuing what his father started with the family law firm. Fighting for what’s right, but also for his family as well. Family is everything for the Hawkes blood relation or not.(It could be why I’m drawn to these books. I’ve never had a close family like this.) But family is exactly what turns his world upside down. He’s readying for the fight of his life, and his family has shown him the way.
Again I can’t even explain how much this series and world are an escape for me, that I love. It has everything. It’s sad, happy, funny, loving, ect. It’s so worth it and you will absolute not be disappointed!

The 45th Parallel (Antipodes, #6)The 45th Parallel by T.S. Simons
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The 45th Parallel is the sixth book in the Antipodes series. I would highly recommend starting at the first book in the series (Antipodes) and reading in order to get to know the large cast of characters and vast setting that has built up by this point in the series.
The Antipodes series is post-apocalyptic, set after a virus has made most of the surface of the planet uninhabitable. The protagonists of this book, Caitlin and Seraphine, are part of the next generation after the disaster who were created to be immune, and therefore more able to survive on the surface of the planet. It is expected that they will both have children, passing on their immunity to the next generation. But neither of them is keen to settle down, they are easily bored and always in search of their next adventure.
This is a fun continuation of the series! It’s good seeing the next generation of characters coming of age, with the older characters who were the focus of earlier books now viewed from a different angle. Cait and Sera are enjoyable characters – young and dissatisfied with the world they’re inheriting, but also caring for others and trying to make a positive impact.
This book gets five stars from me. I’d definitely recommend this series to fans of post-apocalyptic sci-fi!
