Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book in the Masters Of Consulate and wow this series just keeps getting better and better. I love the danger, the romance, to mixture of vampires and shifters and witches. These books literally tick all my boxes.

In this story we are with the Masters trying to still find Isala and the rouge witches and shifters that are trying to take over control. In this story the hunt and arrived in Master Calabrea’s area and he is one vampire you definately don’t want to mess with. No one dares answer him back or stand up to him. That is until he meets Tansia. She is fiesty and when she is tasked to work alongside Calabrea neither of them could know the feelings that would evolve between them.
Add to the danger of all the rogue members of the underworld after them there is also the jilted lover of Calabrea to deal with.
As thoughts of not being good enough swim through Tansia’s mind the option to change is taken from her hands when it becomes a matter of life or death. Is this what was seen the prophecies? Who or what actually is Tansia and what part will she play in saving the vampires and protect their way of life. Is this a case of fated mates and what will the consequences be of her and Calabrea teamed together for eternity? Could Tansia be the missing piece of the puzzle to finally catch Isala?

Master Calabrea (Masters of the Consulate Book 6) by Sylvia Black – Review by Santana Hicks

Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 6th book of the ‘Masters of the Consulate’ series. Each book is about a different master vampire meeting his mate, joining together to fight a war between the races. With that saying, you can read each book as a standalone although in my opinion you should read them all. There are mentions of previous characters as they all band together in this fight.

This time around, the book is about Master Calabrea and Tansia. Tansia comes in hopes of starting a new life after a past relationship ending due to unfaithfulness. That causes Tansia to have trust issues when it comes to men. She is welcomed to help the vampires by her cousin and friend who are both mates of two other Masters. When meeting Calabrea, a dark sexy playboy vampire, Tansia can’t help but instantly feel attracted to him. No way was that happening. A human and a Vampire Master?

Calabrea can’t help but notice Tansia too. With fiery red curls and jade eyes that pierce into you, he can’t deny his attraction but he wasn’t going to admit that to anyone. The couple, both being as stubborn as can be, decide to fight against the attraction by being sassy to one another. There is a prophecy that a woman with red curls and jade eyes will team up with a strong and noble vampire, the future vampire queen thinks that the prophecy is about Tansia and Calabrea.

Will they stop being stubborn enough and embrace the prophecy and potentially each other? Will it get in the way of their mission of finding Isala who is after the future queen?

I have only read a couple books of this series but I immediately added the rest of the series to the want to read list. The author is a great story teller. Which character has their own personality causing you to fall in love with every new couple. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!

Fallen Soul is another exciting and unpredictable installment in the War Of Destiny Series by Theresa Van Spankeren. This book grabs you from the first page and it’s almost impossible to put down! I really enjoy this series and Fallen Soul is the most action packed and suspenseful book yet! With wonderful new characters like Lane, I find him so cool and think his interactions with Julia and the rest of the Ka-Tet are really fun to read. He is also very relatable and the author’s mesmerizing writing makes him so easy to root for! This book and series in general also makes you wonder if we all might have a destiny! I really hope there is more to this series! To experience all of Theresa Van Spankeren’s entrancing paranormal fantasy series, War Of Destiny, I would highly recommend starting with book one Lost Soul! You will not be disappointed! Wonderfully unique and refreshing read!

Shadow (Devil’s Handmaidens MC: Timber-Ghost, Montana Chapter Book 2) by D.M. Earl – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Shadow (Devil's Handmaidens MC-Book Two)Shadow by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Zoey was sold into a life of slavery as a child and had unspeakable things done to her. After being left for dead she finds the courage to get free and in doing so meets Tink. Together they start an all-women’s motorcycle club where Zoey starts her new life under the name Shadow and becomes the club’s enforcer. Like Shadow, Tink, and all of the other female members have had traumatic pasts they have overcome and because of this they have made the club’s mission to save others from being sold into lives of slavery and exploitation.

When Shadow meets Panther things change for her and she feels an emotional connection to him. Although she is sexually attracted to him, she cannot bring herself to overcome the demons of her past and sleep with him. Shadow and Panther both feel a special connection to one another and find that they have a common bond in trying to save the lives of women and children being sold into the sex trade. The two of them try to navigate their feelings and desires as they both struggle to overcome the demons that haunt Shadow’s thoughts and memories.

This was exquisitely written, and I loved the characters of Shadow and Panther. Having read about Shadow in past books I could not help but wonder what her story was. Once I read about the absolute horrors that Shadow had experienced as a child I was repulsed. I felt my heart breaking for her and was sickened at the abuse she had suffered at the hands of so many. Shadow was a woman who could have easily let her past abuse and trauma break her but instead chose it to help others in similar situations which is truly admirable. I was happy to see that she found Panther and that he was so patient with her. He never pushed her for her story or tried to make her do things that she was uncomfortable doing. Panther was patient, gentle, kind, and understanding even without knowing Shadow’s story.

Another amazing book with take charge, no holds barred, strong women who do not let their past demons stop them. They take their demons and channel them into helping other women and children. This book was full of action, violence, mayhem, bloodshed, romance, lust, love, emotional highs and lows, strength, hope, and courage. I highly recommend!

Mission 3047: One Soul’s Fantasy by Stuart Ledwith – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

Mission 3047Mission 3047 by Stuart Ledwith PhD
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mission 3047 starts off with a bit of a backstory of Chloe and how she met her husband. They fell in love, got married, and expected a happily ever after ending. Unfortunately, life had other plans and her husband was in a horrible accident that left him in a comatose state. This left Chloe, or as her friends call her, June, raising two daughters on her own.

Fast forward several years and no change has happened in June’s husband’s state. The lives of June, and her two daughters, Liv, and Cora, have carried on as usual. June is going on missions with her partner, Sarge, to save aliens on other planets. Besides that, June is busy with real estate transactions, research, and numerous other things. Liv and Cora are kept busy with school and for years have been too scared to talk to their dad because his pale, lifeless state scares them.

That changes when June urges them to speak to their dad and spend time with him. Once the girls start doing this, they notice changes in their dad’s condition which inspires Liv to conduct research to help her dad. As the story unfolds we see the progress Liv makes in her research and how it helps to bring her dad out of his state small amounts at a time.

This was an interesting sci-fi adventure and was well written. Liv and Cora were wonderful girls who were willing to help their mom with anything that she needed. Liv was brilliant with the work she did to help her dad. June, I had a hard time deciding whether I liked her or not. Sarge I also was undecided on whether to like. The relationship between June and Sarge seemed to be more than friendship but it was hard to tell. Sarge seemed to like to throw his money around and it almost felt like he was trying to buy love and friendship. Overall a fun story with unique characters.

I absolutely love romantic comedies and this one is no different. An enemies-to-lovers romance full of funny pranks and hot steamy make out sessions. Cash and Hollis will entertain you from cover to cover. The way their “relationship” begins and progresses is so fun to watch and discover. I hope you pick this up. It is absolutely awesome and you will not be sorry.

I really enjoyed Chicken Little Investigates by Lois Wickstrom. Chicken was one of my favorite books as a child and it was such fun sharing this retelling with my children. When Chicken Little gets hit on the head with an acorn she thinks the sky is falling until she and her friends investigate. I really enjoy how this story encourages young readers to investigate and do experiments to figure things out. Once again the writing is witty and cute. The illustrations are fabulous as always. My boys gave this one 5 stars and I fully agree!

Notebook Mysteries – Suspicions (Notebook Mysteries Book 5) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Stephanie Driskill

Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions (Notebook Mysteries book #5)Notebook Mysteries ~ Suspicions by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Emma is at it again but this time it is to save the children that have been kidnapped! With the constant support and help of her family and her boyfriend Jeremy, Emma and the Pinkerton’s are able to locate and rescue the children including the niece of a local law enforcement officer. The mystery and intrigue do not stop there by any means! Emma and Jeremy are given a vacation by an unknown source for a week at a beach house and they are very excited and enjoyed the time away from such a terrible case involving the children. Who would send them on such a lovely vacation for free and anonymously? That I will not reveal! After vacation, Jeremy continues to wrap up the work on the kidnapped children, identifying them, and getting them home to her parents and Emma is summoned by a past acquaintance to come visit as she needs the help. Emma goes to her and helps her out along with two other women and their daughters. In the end, a debt was paid off from an unlikely source, a man was put behind bars, and Emma was successful at helping the women escape their marriages and difficult lives.
One of my favorite book characters is Emma. She is an extremely wise and insightful character and a total bada$$!! I love how the books by Mullins has strong female leads and a bit of history weaved in for a great read full of adventure, mystery, and a dash of romance. The setting in historical Chicago is wonderful as the scenes of traveling always take me away as I ride along whether by train, horse and buggy, or just riding a bike. I cannot recommend this book more highly. In fact, read the entire line of books by Mullins that have Emma as the heroine! You will not be disappointed!

Ale’s Fair in Love and War: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance (Love on Tap Book 1) by Sylvie Stewart – Review by Shea Gilkerson 3/25/23

Ale's Fair in Love and War (Love on Tap, #1)Ale’s Fair in Love and War by Sylvie Stewart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cash runs a bar and brewery, tries to keep his siblings in line and looks after his mom. For the most part, things are going well – until Hollis moves in with her grooming business next door. These neighbors and business owners love to hate one another – and the pranks are enough to drive each other insane, if their hot chemistry doesn’t first!

I love a good, fun, enemies to lovers story. These two drive each other wild in all sorts of ways. There are fun levels of snark, insane levels of chemistry and a fun, what could be considered realistic storyline. When things end up going too far and Cash is in a bind, Hollis feels obligated to help him since she had a hand in it. The more they spend time together and actually SEE eachother, things progress. Very lovable and interesting characters, more than enough fun and lust to keep you invested and better yet, a series to enjoy! Quick, fun read. Highly recommend.

Falling for You (Buckeye Falls Book 2) by Libby Kay – Review by Ashley Mertz

Falling for You (Buckeye Falls, #2)Falling for You by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Falling For You by Libby Kay is available now in eBook and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

“Much like the perfect recipe, love cannot be rushed.”

Falling For You is the second novel in the Buckeye Falls series. This sweet, small town romance takes place in Buckeye Falls, Ohio. Pastry chef, CeCe LaRue and Evan Lawson work side by side at Max’s Diner. The two of them share a crush that neither wants to admit to the other. When Eric, a celebrity chef, hosts a food competition in town the people are ecstatic. Evan thinks this could be his perfect chance to get closer to CeCe. CeCe worries that this will stir up the past and destroy any chance she has with Evan. Will everyone be able to turn down the heat in the kitchen to overcome the obstacles?

Although Falling For You is part of a series it can be read as a standalone with minimal reference to the characters/plot of the first novel. However, I do HIGHLY recommend reading the first novel, you won’t regret it! I loved the sweet banter between all of the characters. Each one of them stood beside one another during the hardest of times, especially CeCe when meeting Evan’s family. His father was the most awful type of man! For a while I found myself mad at CeCe for not being honest with Evan, but let’s be honest we wouldn’t have the perfect story if she was honest right off the bat. The setting of the diner, the line of work, and food competition was perfect, believable and relatable. All around, I absolutely loved Falling For You. Libby Kay stole my heart once again. I can’t wait to see what Buckeye Falls has in store for us next.

Spirit Guide (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Book 3) by Byrd Nash – Review by Shea Gilkerson 3/25/23

Spirit Guide (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries #3)Spirit Guide by Byrd Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

These books are a series and are intended to be read as such. Excellent reads!

Elinor is back again, still with Tristan’s help and now with an assistant who has a lot to learn – and the excitement just keeps ramping up. When the daughter of a nobleman goes missing, Elinor is hired for the case to find who kidnapped her. As usual, Tristan goes along. As their relationship continues to develop, Tristan is acting a bit strange and giving commands to Elinor. When she gets a clue about her father, she takes off to figure it out – will she stay safe? Will Tristan forgive her for going against his wishes and not protecting her safety?

There are so many gorgeous visual descriptions you feel like you’re right there, and Elinor’s witty banter, strength and capabilities make her one of my favorite female protagonists I’ve read about. Add some paranormal, the Morpheus Society and mediumistic abilities and it all blends into an excellent series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed reading this friends to lovers romance story. This is one of my favorites by this author. I found this book to be well developed where the author used details to make the story realistic. A story where it is full of not only romance but some suspense as well. Brandon and Calliope have known each other for most of their lives. He is her brother’s best friend and should be off limits. What happens when she runs into him in the middle of the desert? He is a steamy adult now but does that mean he is still hands off? You don’t want to miss what happens with these two. They have great growth and chemistry throughout. There is even a little suspense that you won’t see coming. This is a fast paced, hard to put down story. It is entertaining and easy to read. An engaging story that I highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Shadow is a total bad ass and Enforcer for the Devil’s Handmaidens MC but underneath it all there is a vulnerability mixed with true strength that Panther sees and is drawn too. Shadow doesn’t always make it easy, the demons from her past that she carries with her make that difficult but he knows what he wants and he wants her so no way is he giving up! I absolutely loved these characters and the truly creative and wonderfully written storyline created by this very talented author. I started this series on book 2 and my enjoyment was not effected in any way as it definitely can be read as a stand alone BUT I enjoyed it so much that I will be reading the first book and the rest of this amazing series as soon as I can!

Notebook Mysteries ~Suspicions is the fifth book in the Notebook Mysteries Series. Im a huge fan of not only this author but this series. Notebook Mysteries is a Historical Mystery that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. This author has a way of grabbing you and you feel like you are part of the story. Her attention to detail makes it so easy to actually imagine what things look like. The characters are simply wonderful and relatable plus fully developed. Emma is back at it again . This time she finds herself tangled in a case that is pretty heart breaking. Emma is very courageous and finds herself helping three families . One of them they all know fairly well and seems to have something to do with Emma’s past. I don’t want to give away t much I do highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next and if you haven’t already started the others I’d recommend reading them as well. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

I’ve read several books in this series and always enjoyed the historical mystery aspect of it. I love the suspense and drama of the plot, of course. It’s fast-paced and intriguing, but I also think that Emma as the main character is always dynamic and interesting. She’s a strong, independent woman, but her relationship with Jeremy seemed deeper in this book, which I appreciated. Highly recommend this whole series.

Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance (Masters of the Consulate Book 6)Master Calabrea: Dark Vampire Romance by Sylvia Black
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dark and suspenseful paranormal romance
Book 6 in the Masters of the Consulate had all aspects that I have come to expect and love from this series. With a sexy, alpha vampire and a strong, sassy female lead, the stage is set for another brilliant instalment to the series. With mystery, suspense, action, romance, magic, witches, vampires and wolves there’s something for everyone. It is worth reading the previous books, as there is a continuing storyline and it’s great to get the background of all the reoccurring characters, though this can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. Each book is getting better and better (still loving Embry- lol). Bring on book 7! Highly recommend.

A Dress To Remember: A Fairy Tale by K.L. Small – Review by Beverly Finnie

A Dress To Remember: A Fairy TaleA Dress To Remember: A Fairy Tale by K.L. Small
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Dress to Remember is a different take on a fairytale. A darker take that was written beautifully. Not all fairytales are sunshine and roses, however most there’s a lesson to be learned from the story being told. When I started it I wasn’t too sure what I was reading, but it didn’t take long to follow the story the authwas trying to tell.
Princess Zarina is spoiled, selfish, naive and the youngest of 13. And despite all that she’s the center of attention, even more so because her Advancement Ceremony is rapidly approaching. Ignoring the warnings of things not being safe due to the raiders, she sets out for the perfect dress. Well she gets that perfect dress and it changes her life. It starts by upending it, and the adventure she embarks on to get back to her home and family is a humbling one. She learns so much about the people she once ignored, but not without difficulty. She also has the help of “the dress.” Magic has been imbued in it to get her to where she’s meant to be in life.
Does she make it back home?
What happens with the raiders?
If you enjoy darker fairy tales it’s something you should definitely check out! You want beautiful character growth this book gives you exactly that. You want an intriguing story, it gives you that as well! Check it out.

Chicken Little Investigates (Science Folktales) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Tia Martel

Chicken Little investigatesChicken Little investigates by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Almost everyone knows the story of Chicken Little in one way or another. “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” is probably the most famous part of the story. But, what happens when Chicken Little decides to experiment with things to see if the sky is falling or if something else fell instead?

Chicken Little Investigates is a cute little twist in a classic tale. Follow Chicken Little, Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Loosey Goosey, and Turkey Lurkey as they learn how different things fall to the ground and travel to ask the King what it’s called when something falls. Keep an eye out though, because not everyone is there to help them learn.

Thank goodness the friends are paying attention during their experiments and are able to use what they’ve learned to escape Foxy Woxy!

This is a cute, fun story with changes in font based on the sounds of words and other fun pieces of information. It’s a cute way to introduce gravity in a way that also introduces a classic story.

Falling for You (Buckeye Falls, #2)Falling for You by Libby Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Falling for You is book 2 to this series, and I absolutely adored CeCe and Evan’s story at Buckeye Falls. I would recommend also reading book 1 first as characters in the book also are in this story as well and ties in so wonderfully. If you love a sweet romance, small town setting with food, friends, love and a little bit of drama, I would highly recommend this series.

CeCe is all business when it comes working at the diner, she does not have time for relationships and has a rule of no dating coworkers. Evan tries to be patient, sitting back, biding his time as he also work at the diner with CeCe, but he cannot help fall for her the more he works with her. CeCe decides to give Evan a chance, dinners, movies and easy conversation flow between them. When an opportunity comes close to Buckeye Fall for a food competition, CeCe and Evan want to enter, but CeCe is hiding a secret. Will this secret come between CeCe and Evan or will they find love while trying to navigate work, the food competition and Evan’s meddling parents.

This is such a fantastic story. I loved every page….and I was so happy to see there is a book 3 coming!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sweet Temptations, by L. M. Mountford is a trilogy of 3 small novellas: The Babysitter, The Boss’s Daughter, and Menage a Trois. In this series, the Lord of Lust focuses on Richard, a middle aged man with a beautiful wife and son, a distracting babysitter, and a seductive supervisor. Lust-filled and erotic, this book is definitely for a mature audience. Sweet Temptations features very descriptive sexual encounters, each one more intriguing and fantastical than the last. Very easy to read with a simple to follow plot, Sweet Temptations even has a plot twist that I did not anticipate. 4 out of 5 stars.

Just as a fair warning that this book does talk about a sensitive topic so do read it at your own risk. Ben has nothing to gain by slumming it for lack of a better word but he has everything to lose. When he lets himself be talked into going to a party with a few friends he never intended becoming a witness to a S.A. He has carried this guilt of not coming forward with him for forty years and is now finally ready to come forward. How different would his life had been if he had made that call all those years ago? This story is told from Ben’s point of view so we get to delve into his thoughts and emotions. Although he did not speak up for the victim at the time he was ready to right a wrong. This is definitely a story that will have you engaged from cover to cover.

The pranks between Cash and Hollis are harmless until they aren’t. When there is a likelihood that Cash will lose not only his bar but his family’s livelihood he finds himself accepting help from the enemy. Hollis feels that she had a hand in what led to this and wants to fix it. Will these two be able to work cohesivly and make sure the brewery is able to stay in the Brooks family? If you like romantic comedy this one will have you laughing until you cry. Also if you don’t mind the funny looks from your significant other when laughing out loud in a quiet room this is worth it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ale’s Fair in Love and War: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance (Love on Tap Book 1)

If you’re looking for a book that will make you laugh and sigh then I would suggest you read this book.

Cash and Hollis start off in a hate filled but funny prank war, but things change rapidly after a misunderstanding leads to them spending time together.

The way their friendship started to bloom after they started to know one another and realize where those intense feelings were heading things got pretty hot.

There are little gems like Sausage Fest, the stuffed dog and the surprise package being delivered that made me laugh.

Cash’s brothers, sister and Mom just add that extra something for me. Ms. Stewart got the family dynamic perfect. Oh and how can I forget to mention Larry!

I look forward to keeping up with this family and see how they grow and change. My money is on Miller’s story being epic.
